About the tides at Helmick Point

Helmick Point has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The range is large, about 7.6 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 10.2 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 30, with a range of 12.7 ft. Neap tides follow on Saturday, when the range shrinks to 5.5 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 13.2 ft on December 26, and the lowest is −0.5 ft on July 11.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here in 2010 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Popokamute (Kokokamute), 11 mi away, where high tide comes about 46 min earlier.
