About the tides at Ford Harbour
Ford Harbour has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. On a typical day the water moves about 1.42 m between high and low. That is larger than most Newfoundland and Labrador stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.06 m, comes on October 11, and the smallest, 1.03 m, on Sunday.
Predictions for Ford Harbour come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. It was established in 1989. The nearest other station is Nukasusutok Island, 11 km away, where high tide comes about 8 min earlier. Heights are measured from chart datum, which in most Canadian tidal waters is set near the lowest normal tide. That is why lows here rarely go below zero.
