About the tides at Rocky Hill

Rocky Hill has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at New London, Thames River. The mean range is small, about 1.9 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Connecticut stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.3 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.6 ft on July 4, and the lowest is −0.4 ft on January 23.

Rocky Hill is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting New London, Thames River: highs come about 270 min and lows about 336 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here in 1987 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is South Hartford, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 54 min later. For tidal currents, see Rocky Hill.

Predictions are based on New London, Thames River.
