About the tides at Cape Cod Canal
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.7 ft. The range is large, about 7.9 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is larger than most Massachusetts stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 8.6 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 10.1 ft on December 25, and the lowest is −1.3 ft on December 25.
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 from 1982 to 2001 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Cape Cod Canal, Bournedale, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 16 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Sagamore Bridge.
