About the tides at Napoopoo
Napoopoo has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at Hilo, Hilo Bay, Kuhio Bay, Hawaii Island. Water here rises and falls only about 1.3 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.6 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −0.5 ft on December 23.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Hilo, Hilo Bay, Kuhio Bay, Hawaii Island, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Kailua Kona, 13 mi away, where high tide comes about 10 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Kailua Kona.
Predictions are based on Hilo, Hilo Bay, Kuhio Bay, Hawaii Island.
