About the tides at Deer Island (south end)
Deer Island (south end) has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. With a mean range of about 8.8 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 11.2 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 8.4 ft, on Sunday.
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 Moon Head, 3 mi away. For tidal currents, see Deer Island, southwest of.
Predictions are based on Boston.
