About the tides at Presumpscot River Bridge
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Presumpscot River Bridge, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Portland,casco Bay. The range is large, about 8.9 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. The next spring tides peak on October 26, with a range of 12.0 ft. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 6.1 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 11.7 ft on December 25, and the lowest is −1.9 ft on January 23.
Presumpscot River Bridge is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Portland,casco Bay: highs come about 1 min and lows about 4 min later than there. The nearest other station is Back Cove, 0.8 mi away. For tidal currents, see Ocean Gate Terminal.
Predictions are based on Portland,casco Bay.
