About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Kailua Kona from the HILO station: high tides about 0.80× the height, 38 min later; low tides about 0.67× the height, 37 min later.

Trade-wind shores with small mixed tides — a foot or two in Hawaii, a few feet in the Caribbean — where swell and season matter more than range.
