Tides in Kaanapali Landing
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 5:29 am 2.5 ft · coef. 90
- ▼ Low tide 11:36 am 0.9 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 3:50 pm 1.4 ft · coef. 84
- ▼ Low tide 10:18 pm -0.3 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 40 min to high tide at 3:50 pm.
Tide coefficient 90 for the 5:29 am high tide and 84 for the 3:50 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 2.7 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 (2.7 ft) and the lowest, on December 23 (-0.6 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 25 to 26 (coefficient 106, 2.7 ft range). The smallest, from October 17 to 18 (coefficient 20, 0.0 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Lahaina station (NOAA), 3.3 mi from Kaanapali Landing. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Kahului reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Kaanapali Landing
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.7 ft
- Significant3.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest6.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Offshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 4.7 ft with a period of 8 s, from the north-northeast (moderate).
Water temperature

Surf in Kaanapali Landing today
Surf today
Fair- 1.7–2.7 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.3 ft swell at 11 s from the south, average
- Moderate offshore wind (13 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 3:50 pm)
- Light: First light 6:05 am · sunrise 6:28 am · sunset 5:53 pm · last light 6:16 pm
- Tide: high 5:29 am (2.4 ft), low 11:36 am (0.9 ft), high 3:50 pm (1.4 ft) and low 10:18 pm (-0.3 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 80.8 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 108 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm, has light offshore wind. 6:05 am to 7:00 am also works, with glassy water.
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 Kaanapali Landing today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- 2.3 ft swell at 11 s from the south: some surge on the bottom
- Moderate offshore wind (13 mph): it pushes surface swimmers away from shore
- 0.8 mph current toward the east (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 5:29 am (5:10–5:50 am), low tide 11:36 am (11:00 am–12:20 pm), high tide 3:50 pm (3:10–4:20 pm) and low tide 10:18 pm (10:00–10:40 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 2.5 ft at 9 s) and rain (1.61 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 80.8 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:16 pm. Waning gibbous (90%), rising at 8:17 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm, lines up with the sun high, though with some swell, moderate wind and current. Also worth a look from 4:30 pm to 5:10 pm, with light wind, though with some swell, current and heavy rain.
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 Kaanapali Landing
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,436 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:16–3:16 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:48–3:48 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:48–9:48 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:47–8:47 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 6.6 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 1,200 ft and 66 ft at 0.25 mi from shore.
