About the tides at Cross River entrance

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.8 ft. The range is large, about 9.0 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 11.3 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 8.5 ft.

Cross River entrance is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Portland: highs come about 7 min and lows about 4 min later than there. The nearest other station is Back River, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 27 min later. For tidal currents, see Sheepscot River, off Barter Island.

Predictions are based on Portland.
