About the tides at Oak Bluffs
This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The pattern follows the reference station at Newport, Narragansett Bay. The mean range is small, about 1.6 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Massachusetts stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on November 23, with a range of 2.4 ft. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 0.9 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.5 ft on September 2, and the lowest is −0.6 ft on January 23.
Oak Bluffs is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Newport, Narragansett Bay: highs come about 239 min and lows about 227 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1980 to 1994 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Vineyard Haven, 2 mi away. For tidal currents, see East Chop-Squash Meadow, between.
Predictions are based on Newport, Narragansett Bay.
