Where this tide comes from
Lahewa has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global EOT20 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 3.2 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.

The sea at Lahewa
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.7 ft
- Significant3.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest6.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 3.7 ft with a period of 10 s, from the south (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Surf in Lahewa today
Surf today
Poor- 0.8–1.1 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 3.0 ft swell at 9 s from the south, a bit short; this coast faces away from it
- Almost no wind (2 mph): glassy water
- Falling tide (low tide at 1:19 pm)
- Light: First light 5:52 am · sunrise 6:13 am · sunset 6:17 pm · last light 6:38 pm
- Tide: low 1:59 am (-1.1 ft), high 7:42 am (0.5 ft), low 1:19 pm (-1.1 ft) and high 8:07 pm (1.5 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 85.8 °F–87.1 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 123 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 11:00 am to 3:00 pm, has glassy water, though with small waves. 6:00 am to 8:00 am can also work, though with small waves.
An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.
Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.
Diving in Lahewa today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (1:19 pm): little current from 1:00 pm to 1:40 pm
- 3.0 ft swell at 9 s from the south: some surge on the bottom
- Almost no wind
- 0.8 mph current toward the south (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 1:59 am (1:40–2:20 am), high tide 7:42 am (7:20–8:10 am), low tide 1:19 pm (1:00–1:40 pm) and high tide 8:07 pm (7:50–8:30 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 4.5 ft at 10 s) and rain (0.74 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 85.8–87.1 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:38 pm. Waning gibbous (87%), rising at 9:25 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:20 pm to 2:10 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and the sun high, though with some swell and current. Also worth a look from 6:50 am to 8:30 am, with slack water at high tide and light wind, though with some swell and current.
Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.

Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:39–3:39 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:11–4:11 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:28–9:28 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:55–9:55 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity
According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.
