About the tides at Jaffrey Point
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.7 ft. With a mean range of about 8.5 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 10.8 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 8.1 ft, on Sunday.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Portland, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Fort Point, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 12 min later. For tidal currents, see Little Harbor entrance.
Predictions are based on Portland.
