About the tides at Sakonnet
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Sakonnet, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The average range is about 3.2 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.5 ft. The next spring tides peak on Saturday, with a range of 4.2 ft. Neap tides follow on October 18, when the range shrinks to 1.8 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 4.5 ft on September 2, and the lowest is −0.9 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 from 1977 to 1995 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Sachuest, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 5 min later. For tidal currents, see Black Point, SW of, Sakonnet River.
