About the tides at Barren Island

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Barren Island, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The mean range is small, about 1.2 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak on October 11, with a range of 1.6 ft. Neap tides follow on Saturday, when the range shrinks to 1.2 ft.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. The nearest other station is Middle Hooper Island, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 9 min later. For tidal currents, see Cove Point, 3.9 n.mi. east of.
