About the tides at Gardiner

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Gardiner, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The range is large, about 6.0 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is smaller than most Maine stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 6.5 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 26, with a range of 6.9 ft. Neap tides follow on October 22, when the range shrinks to 4.7 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 7.6 ft on December 25, and the lowest is −0.4 ft on January 24.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1933 to 2005 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Richmond, 10 mi away, where high tide comes about 42 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Maine Kennebec Bridge, 0.2 n.mi. SW of.
