About the tides at Saybrook Point
This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The pattern follows the reference station at New London, Thames River. The average range is about 2.9 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 4.7 ft. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 2.0 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 4.5 ft on July 3, and the lowest is −0.9 ft on January 23.
Saybrook Point is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting New London, Thames River: highs come about 71 min and lows about 53 min later than there. The nearest other station is Saybrook Jetty, 1 mi away. For tidal currents, see Saybrook Channel.
Predictions are based on New London, Thames River.
