About the tides at Salmon Falls River

Salmon Falls River has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. With a mean range of about 6.7 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is smaller than most Maine stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 8.5 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 7.0 ft, on Monday.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Portland, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Dover, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 9 min later. For tidal currents, see Goat Island, north of.

Predictions are based on Portland.
