About the tides at Saugatuck

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.5 ft. With a mean range of about 7.0 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is larger than most Connecticut stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 7.6 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 8.7 ft on September 2 and bottom out at −1.3 ft on January 23.

Predictions for Saugatuck come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here in 2015 to set up these predictions.
