About the tides at Blacks Harbour
Blacks Harbour has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. Blacks Harbour sees a mean range of about 4.99 m. Low tide can expose a wide area, and the return is fast. That is larger than most New Brunswick stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 6.62 m, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 3.54 m, on Sunday.
Predictions for Blacks Harbour come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. It was established in 1986. The nearest other station is Letang Harbour, 4.5 km away, where high tide comes about 6 min later. For tidal currents, see Western Passage, off Frost Ledge. 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.
