About the tides at Bath

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.8 ft. With a mean range of about 6.8 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 7.4 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 8.9 ft on July 6 and bottom out at −1.5 ft on January 23.

Predictions for Bath come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here in 2005 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Mill Point, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 16 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Bath Iron Works, Kennebec River.
