About the tides at Gay Head

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.5 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Newport, Narragansett Bay. On a typical day the water moves about 2.7 ft between high and low. That is smaller than most Massachusetts stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.8 ft, comes on November 23, and the smallest, 1.7 ft, on Monday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 4.1 ft on September 2 and bottom out at −0.7 ft on January 23.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Newport, Narragansett Bay, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Menemsha Harbor, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 31 min later. For tidal currents, see Gay Head, 1.5 miles northwest of.

Predictions are based on Newport, Narragansett Bay.
