About the tides at Hartford

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 1.8 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Connecticut stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 2.5 ft. Neap tides follow on Tuesday, when the range shrinks to 1.8 ft.

Hartford is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting NEW LONDON, State Pier: highs come about 330 min and lows about 412 min later than there. The nearest other station is South Hartford, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 6 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Hartford Jetty.

Predictions are based on NEW LONDON, State Pier.
