About the tides at Fall River

Fall River has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The average range is about 4.4 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 4.8 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 6.0 ft on August 2, and the lowest is −0.9 ft on January 23.

Hope Bay is a NOAA water level station with a live gauge, updated every 6 minutes. Predictions come from the station's own tide records. It also reports water temperature and air pressure. It was established in 1955. The nearest other station is Steep Brook, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 8 min later. For tidal currents, see Fall River entrance.
