About the tides at Pictou Island

Pictou Island 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 0.93 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 on Friday, with a range of 1.60 m. Neap tides follow on October 7, when the range shrinks to 1.10 m.

This is a prediction station. CHS calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. The nearest other station is Caribou, 11 km away, where high tide comes about 24 min later. Canadian tide heights use chart datum, a level set low on purpose. Negative heights are uncommon.
