About the tides at Bridgeport

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Bridgeport, 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. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 8.1 ft, comes on October 10, and the smallest, 6.1 ft, on Saturday.

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, where high tide comes about 6 min later. For tidal currents, see Bridgeport Harbor, Tongue Point.
