About the tides at Norton Island
Norton Island has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. With a mean range of about 1.82 m, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is larger than most Nunavut stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.40 m, comes on October 12, and the smallest, 1.41 m, on Tuesday.
Predictions for Norton Island come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. It was established in 1974. The nearest other station is Schooner Cove, 2.8 km away. Heights are measured from chart datum, which in most Canadian tidal waters is set near the lowest normal tide. That is why lows here rarely go below zero.
