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 October 10, with a range of 4.2 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 3.0 ft.
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.
