About the tides at Chatham

Chatham has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. On a typical day the water moves about 3.9 ft between high and low. That is smaller than most Massachusetts stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 4.6 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 5.3 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 4.1 ft, on October 8.

Predictions for Chatham come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here in 1992 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Chatham Harbor, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 8 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Stage Harbor, west of Morris Island.
