About the tides at Bedford Institute

Bedford Institute has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. On a typical day the water moves about 1.29 m between high and low. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.70 m, comes today, and the smallest, 1.16 m, on Tuesday.

Bedford Institute is a CHS station with a live water level gauge. Predictions come from the station's own tidal analysis. The nearest other station is Halifax, 3.5 km away, where high tide comes about 7 min earlier. Heights are measured from chart datum, which in most Canadian tidal waters is set near the lowest normal tide. That is why lows here rarely go below zero.
