About the tides at Hawkins Rec. Park
Most days here have a single high and a single low. Around neap tides the pattern can blur into small double tides. Water here rises and falls only about 1.4 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.7 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.9 ft, comes on Wednesday, and the smallest, 0.5 ft, on October 22. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.4 ft on October 29 and bottom out at −1.1 ft on January 21.
Predictions for Hawkins Rec. Park come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1976 to 1993 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Shield Point, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 16 min earlier.
