About the tides at Saxis

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.3 ft. On a typical day the water moves about 2.2 ft between high and low. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.5 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.2 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 1.5 ft, on Monday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 3.1 ft on October 27 and bottom out at −0.6 ft on January 23.

Predictions for Saxis 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 1988 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Guard Shore, 5 mi away. For tidal currents, see Long Point, 2.0 n.mi. northeast of.
