About the tides at Charlton Island
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.12 m. On a typical day the water moves about 1.27 m between high and low. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.85 m, comes today, and the smallest, 1.18 m, on October 7.
Predictions for Charlton Island come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. It was established in 1933. The nearest other station is Strutton Islands, 27 km away, where high tide comes about 21 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.
