About the tides at Riverside
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.8 ft. With a mean range of about 5.7 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is smaller than most Massachusetts stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 6.3 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 6.7 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 5.4 ft, on October 8.
Predictions for Riverside come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here in 1989 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Merrimacport, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 32 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Newburyport, Merrimack River.
