About the tides at Clarks Point
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Clarks Point, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. On a typical day the water moves about 3.6 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 4.0 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 4.7 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 3.3 ft, on Sunday.
Predictions for Clarks Point 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 1976 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is New Bedford Harbor, 2 mi away. For tidal currents, see Clarks Cove.
