    6.3 ft waves every 13 s: swim with care and stay where you can stand. High rip current risk. If you're caught in a rip current, don't swim against it: swim parallel to shore and wave for help. Always follow the lifeguard's flags.

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 5 h 30 min to low tide at 1:20 am.

Tide coefficient 80 for the 8:21 am high tide and 75 for the 7:47 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 2.6 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on July 14 (3.1 ft) and the lowest, on December 24 (0.0 ft).

Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Heights above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero of US nautical charts. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. MLLW

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 9 to 11 (coefficient 94, 1.7 ft range). The smallest, on October 18 (coefficient 31, 1.4 ft).

Where this tide comes from

A · Official station

Tides from the Fanning Island station (NOAA), 4.3 mi from Napari Village. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Honolulu reference station with the official corrections.

Sea and waves

The sea at Napari Village

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: moderate

Moderate Douglas 4 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 5.9 ft · 12.3 s from the south (180°)
Swell 5.2 ft · 10.8 s from the south

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common3.0 ft
  • Significant5.9 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest12 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 12 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 12 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 9 mph N · gusts 12

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has a good size and glassy water. 6:00 pm to 6:42 pm also works, with a good size.

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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide and light wind, though with a big swell and current. Also worth a look from 7:50 am to 9:00 am, with slack water at high tide and light wind, though with a big 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.

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:27–3:27 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:59–3:59 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:21–9:21 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:37–9:37 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.

Water depth

Drops off fast

The bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 40 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 320 ft.

From the shoreline (1,050 ft from Napari Village) out to sea, heading west.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep20 ft
  • 33 ft deep40 ft
  • 66 ft deep80 ft
  • 164 ft deep320 ft

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 166 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 40 ft and 66 ft at 80 ft from shore.

Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).

Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
