About the tides at Port Hood
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.21 m, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. On a typical day the water moves about 0.61 m between high and low. That is smaller than most Nova Scotia stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.18 m, comes tomorrow, and the smallest, 0.77 m, on October 9.
Predictions for Port Hood come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Ballantynes Cove, 34 km away, where high tide comes about 20 min earlier. Heights are measured from chart datum, which in most Canadian tidal waters is set near the lowest normal tide. That is why lows here rarely go below zero.
