About the tides at Fort Point

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Penobscot River, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. Fort Point sees a mean range of about 10.4 ft. Low tide can expose a wide area, and the return is fast. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 11.1 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 12.9 ft, comes on October 26, and the smallest, 6.8 ft, on Monday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 13.0 ft on July 6 and bottom out at −2.0 ft on January 23.

Predictions for Fort Point come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1908 to 1999 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Sandy Point, 2 mi away. For tidal currents, see Fort Point Ledge, Penobscot Bay.
