About the tides at Point Clear

Point Clear usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. The mean range is small, about 1.5 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak on October 14, with a range of 1.8 ft. Neap tides follow tomorrow, when the range shrinks to 0.1 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.4 ft on October 29, and the lowest is −1.0 ft on January 20.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 2010 to 2011 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Fly Creek, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 31 min later. For tidal currents, see Great Point Clear, channel west of.
