About the tides at Charlottetown
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Charlottetown, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. With a mean range of about 1.52 m, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is larger than most Prince Edward Island stations on this site.
Charlottetown is a CHS station with a live water level gauge. Predictions come from the station's own tidal analysis. The nearest other station is Canoe Cove, 17 km away, where high tide comes about 6 min later. Heights are measured from chart datum, which in most Canadian tidal waters is set near the lowest normal tide. That is why lows here rarely go below zero.
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.
