Solunar theory says fish feed more when the moon is overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 hours) and around moonrise and moonset (minor periods, about 1 hour). We score each day from 1 to 10 by checking when those periods happen, using the NOAA tide predictions for station 1612668 and the sun times for this spot:
| Base | every day starts at 1 | 1 |
|---|---|---|
| Sunrise / sunset | a period overlaps sunrise or sunset ±1 h: major +2, minor +1 (max 3) (Moon overhead × sunset +2) | 2 |
| Tide | a NOAA high or low falls inside a period (tide change): major +2, minor +1; moving water during a major period (no high/low within 1 h of it) +1 (max 4) | 0 |
| Moon phase | within 2 days of a new or full moon +2, within 4 days +1 (today: 4.4 days) | 0 |
| Today | 3, rounded | 3/10 |
1–3 poor · 4–5 fair · 6–7 good · 8–10 excellent. Solunar times are a rule of thumb, not a guarantee: weather, water temperature and bait matter a lot. Tide changes and moving water are specific to this station, so nearby spots can score differently.
Solunar periods calculated for 21.60, -158.10 (moon times from astronomical equations, local time). Not a fishing forecast.

Tide times and heights (ft, MLLW) are NOAA predictions for station 1612668; first light (civil dawn), sunrise, sunset and last light (civil dusk) are calculated for Haleiwa (North Shore Oahu) with the NOAA solar equations. Times are local.
Haleiwa (North Shore Oahu) has a mixed semidiurnal tide: usually two highs and two lows a day, of noticeably unequal height (on average the day's two highs differ by 0.8 ft and its two lows by 0.3 ft). The average rise or fall between high and low tide is 1.0 ft, growing to about 1.9 ft at spring tides (around new and full moon) and shrinking to about 0.9 ft at neap tides (around the quarter moons). The highest tide predicted in the next 12 months is 2.1 ft on July 3, 2027 at 3:07 PM; the lowest is -0.3 ft on January 20, 2027 at 5:55 PM, and 207 low tides in that period drop below zero (MLLW).
Computed from 12 months of NOAA high/low predictions for station 1612668 (Haleiwa, Waialua Bay); heights in feet above MLLW.
