Olowalu has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Lahaina (NOAA), 6.4 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Kahului reference station with the official corrections.
