About the tides at Bristol Ferry

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Bristol Ferry, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The average range is about 4.1 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 4.5 ft. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 5.3 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 3.9 ft.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here in 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Anthony Point, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 21 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Mount Hope Bridge.
