About the tides at Mattapoisett
Mattapoisett has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The average range is about 3.7 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most Massachusetts stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on October 10, with a range of 4.9 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 3.5 ft.
Mattapoisett is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Newport: highs come about 11 min and lows about 20 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1976 to 1994 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Marion, 4 mi away. For tidal currents, see Mattapoisett Harbor.
Predictions are based on Newport.
