About the tides at Matinicus Harbor

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Wheaton Island, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The range is large, about 8.7 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 10.9 ft. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 8.2 ft.

Matinicus Harbor is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Bar Harbor: highs come about 5 min later and lows about 27 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Vinalhaven, 13 mi away. For tidal currents, see Andrews Island, ESE of.

Predictions are based on Bar Harbor.
