About the tides at North Sydney
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.11 m. The average range is about 0.77 m. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most Nova Scotia stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 1.16 m. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 0.77 m.
North Sydney is a CHS station with a live water level gauge. Predictions come from the station's own tidal analysis. The nearest other station is Sydney, 8.3 km away. Canadian tide heights use chart datum, a level set low on purpose. Negative heights are uncommon.
Tide predictions and water levels from the Canadian Hydrographic Service. For planning only, not for navigation. Real water levels can differ because of wind, air pressure and river flow. Always check conditions on site.
