About the tides at Pawtucket

Pawtucket has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The pattern follows the reference station at Newport. The average range is about 4.4 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. The next spring tides peak on Saturday, with a range of 5.9 ft. Neap tides follow on October 18, when the range shrinks to 2.5 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 6.5 ft on September 2, and the lowest is −1.1 ft on January 23.

Pawtucket is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Newport: highs come about 18 min and lows about 9 min later than there. The nearest other station is Rumford, 2 mi away. For tidal currents, see Providence River, Fox Point Reach.

Predictions are based on Newport.
