About the tides at Pleasant Bay

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.3 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at Boston, Boston Harbor. On a typical day the water moves about 3.1 ft between high and low. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.7 ft, comes tomorrow, and the smallest, 2.4 ft, on October 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 4.0 ft on November 26 and bottom out at −0.6 ft on January 23.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Boston, Boston Harbor, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Chatham Harbor, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 39 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Stage Harbor, west of Morris Island.

Predictions are based on Boston, Boston Harbor.
