Where Kaunakakai Gulch at altitude 75 feet, Molokai, 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.

Normal for Nov 5: 0–0 ft³/s (middle half of 21 years of record). Now: 2.33 ft³/s, much above normal.
Much above normal for this date. 2.33 ft³/s is above the 90th percentile of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 21 years of record (2004–2024): 10th 0, 25th 0, median 0, 75th 0, 90th 0 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0 ft³/s, highest 11.1 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).
Rising over 24 hours: discharge up 100%, from 0 to 2.33 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.
Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 100%). Keep your way back to the bank in sight and watch the level while you fish. “Rising” is our rule of thumb: more than 10% in discharge or 0.2 ft of gauge height in 24 hours, not a USGS or NWS class.
Flow far above normal. Above the 90th percentile of daily mean flow for this date (USGS class “much above normal”), from 21 years of record. Expect higher, faster water than usual for the season.
