About the tides at Point Possession

Point Possession has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. Point Possession sees a mean range of about 23.2 ft. Low tide can expose a wide area, and the return is fast. That is larger than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 26.0 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 32.6 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 15.4 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 30.4 ft on September 2 and bottom out at −5.5 ft on December 25.

Predictions for Point Possession come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1974 to 2008 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Fire Island, 12 mi away, where high tide comes about 20 min later.
