About the tides at Neponset

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.8 ft. The range is large, about 9.1 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 11.6 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 8.7 ft.

Neponset is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Boston: highs come about 2 min earlier and lows about 3 min later than there. The nearest other station is Moon Head, 3 mi away. For tidal currents, see Neponset River.

Predictions are based on Boston.
