About the tides at Cotuit Highlands
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Cotuit Highlands, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Boston. On a typical day the water moves about 2.4 ft between high and low. That is smaller than most Massachusetts stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.0 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 2.4 ft, on Saturday.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Boston, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Poponesset Island, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 46 min later. For tidal currents, see Cotuit Bay entrance (Bluff Point).
Predictions are based on Boston.
