Orange: measured by NOAA's sensor, last 24 hours (6-minute data, preliminary). Dashed: predicted tide, through the next 24 hours. The prediction contains only the astronomical tide; wind, air pressure and river flow move the real water level away from it.
Laysan Island is a subordinate station: NOAA computes its tides from Honolulu with fixed time and height corrections.
On Tuesday, October 27, high tide at Laysan Island is at 4:56 AM (1.3 ft) and 4:30 PM (0.5 ft); low tide is at 12:14 PM (0.2 ft) and 10:18 PM (-0.1 ft) (SST, heights above MLLW). The table above lists the next 7 days.
The highest predicted tide in the next 12 months is 1.4 ft on December 24, 2026 at 4:35 AM. The largest tides fall a day or two after a full or new moon, especially when the Moon is closest to Earth.
Yes — on 181 days in the next 12 months the low tide drops below 0 ft (MLLW). The lowest is -0.2 ft on January 20, 2027 at 8:15 PM. Minus tides expose the most shoreline, which is why tide-poolers look for them.
Station local time (SST at the time this page was built), with daylight saving time applied where the area observes it — the same convention as NOAA's own tide tables.
From NOAA CO-OPS, the U.S. government tide station network (tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov); the predictions are public domain. Laysan Island is a subordinate station: NOAA derives its times and heights from the reference station Honolulu with fixed corrections. The curve between highs and lows is our interpolation.
