About the tides at Flat Island

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.22 m. The range is large, about 2.60 m on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is larger than most Nova Scotia stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 3.31 m. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 2.56 m.

This is a prediction station. CHS calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. It was established in 1963. The nearest other station is Seal Island, 11 km away, where high tide comes about 6 min later. Canadian tide heights use chart datum, a level set low on purpose. Negative heights are uncommon.
