The nearest weather station is Kekaha, Pacific Missile Test Facility Barking Sands, an airport reporting wind, visibility and sky cover, but no water temperature, 15.5 mi away.
The tide at Port Allen, Hanapepe Bay
Port Allen, Hanapepe Bay has a mixed tide: two highs and two lows a day, but of unequal size, so one low each day drains a little lower than the other.

- Highest water on record: 5.8 ft on Sep 12, 1992.
- Lowest on record: -0.9 ft on May 14, 1991.
Datum and source
Heights on this page are feet above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero NOAA's nautical charts use for soundings. A predicted 0.0 ft low is the average of the lower low each day; a minus tide is water below chart datum, and a 2 ft high means 2 ft more water than the chart shows. NOAA fixes MLLW at Port Allen, Hanapepe Bay from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 1.8 ft above it and mean sea level 0.8 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Nawiliwili, HI gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 1611347, established 1988, gauge removed 1997. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
