Tides in Royal Kunia
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 5:54 am 2.5 ft · coef. 81
- ▼ Low tide 1:04 pm 0.4 ft
- ▲ High tide 5:47 pm 0.7 ft · coef. 77
- ▼ Next low tide 11:00 pm 0.0 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 37 min to low tide at 11:00 pm.
Tide coefficient 81 for the 5:54 am high tide and 77 for the 5:47 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 (2.7 ft) and the lowest, on May 16 (-0.4 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 96, 2.1 ft range). The smallest, from October 17 to 18 (coefficient 30, 1.4 ft).

The sea at Royal Kunia
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.5 ft
- Significant5.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest9.8 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.8 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 5.4 ft with a period of 11 s, from the northwest (moderate).

Diving in Royal Kunia today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (1:04 pm): little current from 12:30 pm to 2:10 pm
- 3.6 ft swell at 11 s from the south: strong surge on the bottom
- Almost no wind
- 0.6 mph current toward the northwest (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 5:54 am (5:30–6:10 am), low tide 1:04 pm (12:30–2:10 pm), high tide 5:47 pm (4:30–6:40 pm) and low tide 11:00 pm (10:30–11:20 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 3.8 ft at 11 s) and rain (2.99 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 79.5–80.6 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:21 pm. Waning gibbous (90%), rising at 8:21 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:10 pm to 3:10 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and the sun high, though with some 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.

The moon in Royal Kunia
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,436 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:21–3:21 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:53–3:53 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:55–9:55 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:51–8:51 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. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 1.3 mi. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 1.3 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 1.3 mi out. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
