About the tides at Clinton Harbor
Clinton Harbor has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. On a typical day the water moves about 4.6 ft between high and low. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 5.1 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 5.8 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 4.5 ft, on Sunday.
Predictions for Clinton Harbor 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 2002 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Westbrook, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 22 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Hammonasset Point, 1.2 miles SW of.
