About the tides at Castine

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Castine, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Bar Harbor, Frenchman Bay. The range is large, about 9.5 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 12.5 ft on August 4, and the lowest is −1.9 ft on January 23.

Castine is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Bar Harbor, Frenchman Bay: highs come about 15 min and lows about 11 min later than there. The nearest other station is Fort Point, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 5 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Hosmer Ledge, Castine Harbor.

Predictions are based on Bar Harbor, Frenchman Bay.
