About the tides at McMaster Island
McMaster Island has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. McMaster Island sees a mean range of about 5.47 m. Low tide can expose a wide area, and the return is fast. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 6.51 m, comes today, and the smallest, 5.50 m, on Saturday.
Predictions for McMaster Island come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Matthews Cove, 2.9 km away, where high tide comes about 9 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Western Passage, off Frost Ledge. Heights are measured from chart datum, which in most Canadian tidal waters is set near the lowest normal tide. That is why lows here rarely go below zero.
