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. On a typical day the water moves about 4.7 ft between high and low. That is smaller than most Maine stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 5.9 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 4.9 ft, on Monday.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Portland, 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.
