About the tides at New London
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.6 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The average range is about 2.6 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 3.1 ft. The next spring tides peak on November 23, with a range of 3.7 ft. Neap tides follow on November 17, when the range shrinks to 1.9 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.6 ft on July 3, and the lowest is −0.7 ft on January 23.
Thames River is a NOAA water level station with a live gauge, updated every 6 minutes. Predictions come from the station's own tide records. It also reports water temperature and air pressure. It was established in 1938. The nearest other station is Yale boathouse, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 14 min later. For tidal currents, see U.S. Coast Guard Academy.
