About the tides at Middletown
Middletown has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The average range is about 2.2 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most Connecticut stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.5 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 11, with a range of 2.7 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 2.2 ft.
Middletown is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting NEW LONDON, State Pier: highs come about 234 min and lows about 279 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1987 to 1988 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Maromas, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 29 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Wilcox Island Park, east of.
Predictions are based on NEW LONDON, State Pier.
