About the tides at Richmond
This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The range is large, about 5.3 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is smaller than most Maine stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 5.8 ft. The next spring tides peak on November 22, with a range of 5.6 ft. Neap tides follow on November 19, when the range shrinks to 4.3 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 6.6 ft on November 26, and the lowest is −0.5 ft on January 24.
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 2005 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Bowdoinham, 7 mi away, where high tide comes about 10 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Maine Kennebec Bridge, 0.2 n.mi. SW of.
