About the tides at Biddeford

Biddeford has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. With a mean range of about 9.1 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 9.8 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 12.2 ft on July 5 and bottom out at −4.1 ft on January 24.

Predictions for Biddeford 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 1991 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Camp Ellis, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 16 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Saco River Entrance.
