About the tides at Fields Point

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Fields Point, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. With a mean range of about 6.1 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 7.5 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 6.4 ft, on Sunday.

Fields Point is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Bowles Island, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 20 min later. For tidal currents, see Combahee River, S. of Fields Point.
