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. On a typical day the water moves about 1.47 m between high and low. That is larger than most Prince Edward Island stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.59 m, comes on October 29, and the smallest, 1.08 m, tomorrow.

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 5 min earlier. 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.
