About the tides at Saybrook Jetty
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.7 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at New London, Thames River. The average range is about 3.2 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most Connecticut stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 5.2 ft. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 2.2 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 5.0 ft on July 3, and the lowest is −0.9 ft on January 23.
Saybrook Jetty is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting New London, Thames River: highs come about 71 min and lows about 45 min later than there. The nearest other station is Saybrook Point, 1 mi away. For tidal currents, see Saybrook Breakwater Light.
Predictions are based on New London, Thames River.
