About the tides at Nantucket

Nantucket has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. On a typical day the water moves about 3.0 ft between high and low. That is smaller than most Massachusetts stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.6 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 4.2 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 3.3 ft, on October 8.

A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 1963. The nearest other station is Eel Point, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 31 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Nantucket Harbor entrance channel.
