Moonrise at Lake Isabella, California, in a long exposure. Away from city lights a bright moon throws enough light to read by, and the clouds blur into streaks. “Lake Isabella moonrise from Pioneer Point 2016-10-15”, Junkyardsparkle, CC0
Enter a Hawaii ZIP above for tonight’s moonrise and moonset on your local clock, with the compass direction of each. The table below lists moonrise for Honolulu, Hilo and Kahului on every full moon night.
The table lists the next 12 full moons on Hawaii Standard Time year round time, starting with Hunter’s Moon on October 25 at 6:12 PM HST. The tool above counts down to the next one for your ZIP.
The phase is the same everywhere, so a full moon is full for all of Hawaii at the same instant. What changes is the clock time and the direction of moonrise and moonset, which depend on where you stand.
No. A moon near the horizon looks larger because of how the eye judges size against trees and buildings, and the disc measures the same. A supermoon is different, because the moon really is closer by up to about 14 percent.
The table gives moonrise for Honolulu, Hilo and Kahului on each full moon night, on the local clock of each city. Hawaii skips daylight saving time, so its moonrise clock never shifts in spring or fall, and the Pacific horizon is open in every direction.
Phase times are the U.S. Naval Observatory’s table for 2026 and 2027. Moonrise, moonset and direction are computed for each city from the moon’s position, and the names follow the Old Farmer’s Almanac.
