About the tides at Bowdoinham

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.5 ft. With a mean range of about 5.6 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is smaller than most Maine stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 7.1 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 5.9 ft, on Monday.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Portland, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Sturgeon Island, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 34 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Merrymeeting Bay, N of Chops Pass., Kennebec River.

Predictions are based on Portland.
