#peak tide

Peak high tides associated with the lunar cycle and water levels that are running higher than predicted will lead to minor coastal flooding along shorelines and low-lying coastal areas through the weekend and into Monday afternoon. Coastal flooding will coincide with the daily peak tide each afternoon for portions of Maui, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi, Kahoʻolawe, Kauaʻi, Niʻihau, Oʻahu and the Big Island.

The National Weather Service has issued a Coastal Flood Statement, in effect from 2 p.m. this afternoon through Wednesday afternoon. The NWS says timing will occur in the afternoon hours around the daily peak tides through Wednesday.
