About the tides at Charlottetown
This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The mean range is small, about 0.61 m, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Newfoundland and Labrador stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 0.95 m. Neap tides follow on Tuesday, when the range shrinks to 0.48 m.
This is a prediction station. CHS calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. The nearest other station is Newman Sound, 15 km away, where high tide comes about 20 min earlier. Canadian tide heights use chart datum, a level set low on purpose. Negative heights are uncommon.
Tide predictions and water levels from the Canadian Hydrographic Service. For planning only, not for navigation. Real water levels can differ because of wind, air pressure and river flow. Always check conditions on site.
