↓ Falling The tide is falling. 11 min to low tide at 12:05 pm.
Tide coefficient 88 for the 5:29 am high tide and 83 for the 4:25 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 December 24 (2.6 ft) and the lowest, on May 17 (-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 25 to 26 (coefficient 101, 2.6 ft range). The smallest, on October 17 (coefficient 23, 1.4 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Ooma Beach has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Kailua Kona (NOAA), 5.3 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 Hilo reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Ooma Beach
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.2 ft
- Significant4.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest8.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 8.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 8.6 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 4.8 ft with a period of 10 s, from the south-southwest (moderate).
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 Ooma Beach today
Surf today
Very good- 3.0–4.6 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 3.5 ft swell at 11 s from the south-southwest, average
- Almost no wind (2 mph): glassy water
- Rising tide (high tide at 4:25 pm)
- Light: First light 6:01 am · sunrise 6:24 am · sunset 5:52 pm · last light 6:14 pm
- Tide: high 5:29 am (2.4 ft), low 12:05 pm (0.6 ft), high 4:25 pm (1.2 ft) and low 10:46 pm (-0.2 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 81.7 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 260 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm, has a good size and glassy water. 6:01 am to 10:00 am also works, with a good size and 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 Ooma Beach today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (12:05 pm): little current from 11:30 am to 12:40 pm
- 3.5 ft swell at 11 s from the south-southwest: strong surge on the bottom
- Almost no wind
- 0.6 mph current toward the northeast (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 5:29 am (5:00–5:50 am), low tide 12:05 pm (11:30 am–12:40 pm), high tide 4:25 pm (3:40–5:10 pm) and low tide 10:46 pm (10:10–11:20 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 3.5 ft at 11 s) and rain (0.57 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 81.7 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:14 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 1:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and the sun high, though with some swell and current. Also worth a look from 6:00 am to 7:40 am, with light wind and weak current, though with tidal current and some swell.
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.

The moon in Ooma Beach
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,436 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:13–3:13 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:45–3:45 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:42–9:42 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.

Water depth
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 480 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.25 mi.
From the shoreline out to sea, heading southwest.

- 16 ft deep310 ft
- 33 ft deep480 ft
- 66 ft deep800 ft
- 164 ft deep0.25 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 18 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 480 ft and 66 ft at 800 ft from shore.
Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
