About the tides at Dover

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.8 ft. The range is large, about 7.0 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 7.7 ft. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 8.4 ft. Neap tides follow on Friday, when the range shrinks to 7.3 ft.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here in 1998 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Salmon Falls River, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 8 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Goat Island, north of.
