About the tides at Gray Gables
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.6 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. On a typical day the water moves about 3.6 ft between high and low. That is smaller than most Massachusetts stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 4.1 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 4.9 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 3.6 ft, on Monday.
Predictions for Gray Gables 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 2000 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Cape Cod Canal, RR. bridge, 0.6 mi away, where high tide comes about 32 min later. For tidal currents, see Cape Cod Canal, West End.
