About the tides at Hampton Harbor

Hampton Harbor has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The range is large, about 8.1 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 10.3 ft. Neap tides follow on Saturday, when the range shrinks to 8.1 ft.

Hampton Harbor is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Portland: highs come about 14 min and lows about 32 min later than there. The nearest other station is Plum Island, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 16 min later. For tidal currents, see Merrimack River entrance.

Predictions are based on Portland.
