About the tides at Androscoggin River entrance

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Androscoggin River Entrance, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Portland,casco Bay. On a typical day the water moves about 4.5 ft between high and low. That is smaller than most Maine stations on this site. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 6.0 ft on December 25 and bottom out at −1.0 ft on January 23.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Portland,casco Bay, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Sturgeon Island, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 24 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Merrymeeting Bay, N of Chops Pass., Kennebec River.

Predictions are based on Portland,casco Bay.
