About the tides at Cliff Island

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.8 ft. With a mean range of about 9.0 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 11.3 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 8.5 ft, on Sunday.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Portland, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here in 1979 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Great Chebeague Island, 2 mi away. For tidal currents, see Lucksee Sound Between Hope and Cliff Is..

Predictions are based on Portland.
