About the tides at Lighthouse Point

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at New Haven Harbor, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The range is large, about 6.1 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is larger than most Connecticut stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 6.7 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 10, with a range of 7.4 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 5.4 ft.

Lighthouse Point is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Bridgeport: highs come about 4 min and lows about 7 min earlier than there. NOAA measured the tide here in 1988 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is New Haven Harbor, 2 mi away. For tidal currents, see New Haven Harbor entrance.

Predictions are based on Bridgeport.
