↓ Falling The tide is falling. 21 min to low tide at 12:16 pm.
Tide coefficient 81 for the 4:40 am high tide and 77 for the 4:06 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 July 13 (2.8 ft) and the lowest, on December 23 (-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 94, 2.1 ft range). The smallest, from October 16 to 17 (coefficient 33, 1.5 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Pukoo Harbor station (NOAA), 2.1 mi from ‘Ualapu‘e. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Honolulu reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at ‘Ualapu‘e
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.1 ft
- Significant2.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.3 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 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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 4.3 ft with a period of 8 s, from the north-northeast (moderate).

Surf in ‘Ualapu‘e today
Surf today
Flat- Barely any waves (0.8 ft sets): flat
- Light offshore wind (5 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Thunderstorm: stay out of the water (lightning)
- Falling tide (low tide at 12:16 pm)
It’s flat today: almost no waves reach this coast.
Thunderstorms in the best window: with lightning, stay out of the water.
- Light: First light 6:06 am · sunrise 6:28 am · sunset 5:54 pm · last light 6:16 pm
- Tide: high 4:40 am (2.5 ft), low 12:16 pm (0.4 ft), high 4:06 pm (0.8 ft) and low 9:53 pm (-0.1 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 80.4 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 21 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:06 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with barely any waves and thunderstorms.
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 ‘Ualapu‘e today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around low tide (12:16 pm): little current from 11:40 am to 12:40 pm
- 1.4 ft swell at 8 s from the north-northeast: some surge on the bottom
- Moderate cross-shore wind (14 mph)
- 0.7 mph current toward the east-northeast (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 4:40 am (4:20–5:00 am), low tide 12:16 pm (11:40 am–12:40 pm), high tide 4:06 pm (3:30–4:50 pm) and low tide 9:53 pm (9:20–10:20 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 2.0 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 80.4 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- 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 1:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide and the sun high, though with moderate wind and current. Also worth a look from 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm, with weak current and the sun high, though with moderate wind 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 ‘Ualapu‘e
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
- 8:49–9:49 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. 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.6 mi and 66 ft at 0.7 mi from shore.
