About the tides at Bass Harbor

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.7 ft. The range is large, about 9.6 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 11.9 ft. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 9.0 ft.

Bass Harbor is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Bar Harbor: highs come about 4 min later and lows about 27 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Southwest Harbor, 3 mi away. For tidal currents, see Casco Passage, east end, Blue Hill Bay.

Predictions are based on Bar Harbor.
