About the tides at Bridgeport
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Bridgeport Harbor, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. With a mean range of about 6.7 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is larger than most Connecticut stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 7.3 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 8.4 ft on September 2 and bottom out at −1.2 ft on January 23.
A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 1932. The nearest other station is Black Rock Harbor, 2 mi away. For tidal currents, see Bridgeport Harbor, Tongue Point.
