About the tides at Waimanalo
This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The pattern follows the reference station at Moku O Loe. The mean range is small, about 1.4 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak on Monday, with a range of 2.1 ft. Neap tides follow on October 17, when the range shrinks to 1.3 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.5 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −0.6 ft on December 23.
Waimanalo is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Moku O Loe: highs come about 11 min and lows about 5 min later than there. The nearest other station is Hanauma Bay, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 11 min later. For tidal currents, see Makapu'u Point.
Predictions are based on Moku O Loe.
