About the tides at Dover Bridge

This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The mean range is small, about 1.5 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 2.6 ft. Neap tides follow on Friday, when the range shrinks to 1.3 ft.

Dover Bridge is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Easton Point, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 2 h 27 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Dover Bridge.
