About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Makena from the KAHULUI station: high tides about 0.73× the height, 81 min later; low tides about 0.54× the height, 69 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.
