About the tides at Barnstable Harbor
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 1.0 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at Boston, Boston Harbor. The range is large, about 9.0 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is larger than most Massachusetts stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on November 23, with a range of 11.9 ft. Neap tides follow on November 18, when the range shrinks to 6.8 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 11.8 ft on November 26, and the lowest is −1.8 ft on January 23.
Barnstable Harbor is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Boston, Boston Harbor: highs come about 11 min and lows about 30 min later than there. The nearest other station is Hyannis Port, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 54 min later. For tidal currents, see Barnstable Harbor.
Predictions are based on Boston, Boston Harbor.
