About the tides at Little Gull Island
This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The pattern follows the reference station at New London, Thames River. The average range is about 2.0 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most New York stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 3.2 ft. Neap tides follow tomorrow, when the range shrinks to 1.6 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.1 ft on July 3, and the lowest is −0.6 ft on January 23.
Little Gull Island is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting New London, Thames River: highs come about 13 min later and lows about 22 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Silver Eel Pond, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 10 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Little Gull Island, 0.8 mile Nnw of.
Predictions are based on New London, Thames River.
