About the tides at Fort Popham

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.8 ft. With a mean range of about 8.5 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 9.2 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 10.8 ft, comes on October 26, and the smallest, 5.7 ft, on Monday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 10.8 ft on July 6 and bottom out at −1.6 ft on January 23.

Predictions for Fort Popham come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here in 2005 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Phippsburg, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 20 min later. For tidal currents, see Hunniwell Point, northeast of.
