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 average range is about 4.4 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. The next spring tides peak on October 10, with a range of 5.9 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 4.2 ft.

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, where high tide comes about 8 min later. For tidal currents, see Providence River, Fox Point Reach.

Predictions are based on Newport.
