About the tides at Port Madison
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.5 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. With a mean range of about 7.5 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 12.5 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 6.7 ft, on October 11.
Port Madison is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Port Jefferson, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 12 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Agate Passage, north end.
