Tides in Hanalei Pier
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ Next high tide 5:24 am 2.5 ft · coef. 73
- ▼ Low tide 12:59 pm 0.6 ft
- ▲ High tide 3:50 pm 0.7 ft · coef. 68
- ▼ Low tide 9:40 pm 0.0 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 h 15 min to high tide at 5:24 am.
Tide coefficient 73 for the 5:24 am high tide and 68 for the 3:50 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 2.5 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 13 (2.8 ft) and the lowest, on December 23 (-0.5 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 8 to 10 (coefficient 98, 2.1 ft range). The smallest, on October 17 (coefficient 25, 1.4 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Hanalei Bay station (NOAA), 0.3 mi from Hanalei Pier. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Nawiliwili reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Hanalei Pier
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.8 ft
- Significant5.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest11 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 11 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 11 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 12 ft with a period of 10 s, from the north (rough).
Water temperature

Surf in Hanalei Pier today
Surf today
Fair- 3.2–4.9 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 3.8 ft swell at 8 s from the north-northeast, a bit short
- Moderate cross-shore wind (15 mph): a bit of chop
- First or last light of the day
- Falling tide (low tide at 12:59 pm)
- Light: First light 6:18 am · sunrise 6:41 am · sunset 6:02 pm · last light 6:25 pm
- Tide: high 5:24 am (2.5 ft), low 12:59 pm (0.6 ft), high 3:50 pm (0.7 ft) and low 9:40 pm (-0.0 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 79.0 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 195 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:18 am to 10:00 am, has a good size, though with cross-shore wind. 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm can also work, with a good size, though with cross-shore wind.
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, 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm, combines slack water at low tide, slack water at high tide, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell and moderate wind.
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.

The moon in Hanalei Pier
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,938 mi away and looks 32′ 42″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:32–4:32 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:04–5:04 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:09–11:09 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:00–10:00 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.

- 66 ft deep1.2 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.55 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. 33 ft deep 0.6 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.2 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
