About the tides at Cambridge

Cambridge has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The mean range is small, about 1.5 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 2.1 ft. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 1.5 ft.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. The nearest other station is Woolford, 8 mi away, where high tide comes about 27 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Cambridge hwy. bridge, W. of Swing Span.
