About the tides at Kent Island Narrows

Kent Island Narrows has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The mean range is small, about 1.1 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 1.9 ft. Neap tides follow on Saturday, when the range shrinks to 0.8 ft.

Kent Island Narrows is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Queenstown, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 35 m later. For tidal currents, see Kent Island Narrows (highway bridge).
