About the tides at Freeport Harbor

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.4 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The mean range is small, about 1.3 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.7 ft. The next spring tides peak on Saturday, with a range of 2.4 ft. Neap tides follow on October 8, when the range shrinks to 0.9 ft.

Freeport Harbor is a NOAA water level station with a live gauge, updated every 6 minutes. Predictions come from the station's own tide records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 2016. The nearest other station is USCG Freeport, 0.7 mi away. For tidal currents, see Surfside Bridge.
