About the tides at Newburyport
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Newburyport, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The range is large, about 8.1 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 8.8 ft. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 10.0 ft. Neap tides follow on Saturday, when the range shrinks to 8.2 ft.
This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1989 to 1990 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Salisbury Point, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 20 min later. For tidal currents, see Newburyport, Merrimack River.
