Map of USGS gauge 16238000 and the river around it
Where Makiki Stream at King St. bridge, Oahu, HI sits.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. We found no Hawaii agency water-temperature line for trout anglers. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Hawaii rule: 68°F.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Hawaii DLNR, Division of Aquatic Resources: Hawaii freshwater fishing · Hawaii fishing regulations.
Normal for Nov 5: 0.21–1.3 ft³/s (middle half of 15 years of record). Now: 1.91 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 1.91 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 15 years of record (2011–2025): 10th 0.16, 25th 0.21, median 0.5, 75th 1.3, 90th 11 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0.16 ft³/s, highest 20.5 ft³/s.
Classes as USGS labels them (hyswap: flow categories (WDFN_stats schema) (U.S. Geological Survey) ); percentiles from the USGS daily statistics (U.S. Geological Survey) (approved daily means; the reading is provisional and instantaneous).
Falling over 24 hours: discharge down 18.7%, from 2.35 to 1.91 ft³/s. Rising or falling means a change of more than 10% in discharge (or 0.2 ft of gauge height) over 24 hours; our rule of thumb, not a USGS class.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
Flood categories: action stage, minor, moderate and major flooding (National Weather Service)Turn Around Don't Drown. “A mere 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock over an adult.” No flow number makes a crossing safe; if in doubt, stay out.
Turn Around Don't Drown (National Weather Service)Turbidity 59 FNU at Nov 5, 5:50 PM HST; 7-day range 3–256 FNU
Water clarity: Turbidity measures the relative clarity of water: higher means murkier. No agency publishes a fishing threshold for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
