About the tides at Rockport

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Rockport Harbor, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The range is large, about 8.7 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is larger than most Massachusetts stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 9.5 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 11.1 ft on July 6, and the lowest is −1.7 ft on January 23.

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 1992 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Annisquam, 3 mi away. For tidal currents, see Annisquam Harbor Light.
