About the tides at Sandy Point

Sandy Point has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The pattern follows the reference station at Bar Harbor, Frenchman Bay. The tide range here is very large, about 10.0 ft on average. Water can come in faster than you can walk across flats. Check the time before you go out. The next spring tides peak on October 26, with a range of 13.2 ft. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 7.0 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 13.1 ft on August 4, and the lowest is −1.8 ft on January 23.

Sandy Point is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Bar Harbor, Frenchman Bay: highs come about 6 min and lows about 8 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here in 1984 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Fort Point, 2 mi away. For tidal currents, see Odom Ledge, Penobscot River.

Predictions are based on Bar Harbor, Frenchman Bay.
