About the tides at Provincetown
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Provincetown, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The range is large, about 9.3 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 10.1 ft. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 11.6 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 8.9 ft.
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 in 2010 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Wellfleet, 11 mi away, where high tide comes about 9 min later.
