About the tides at Scituate

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Scituate Harbor, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. With a mean range of about 8.9 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is larger than most Massachusetts stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 9.7 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 10.4 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 6.0 ft, on October 18. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 11.4 ft on December 25 and bottom out at −1.4 ft on December 25.

Predictions for Scituate 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 1990 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Damons Point, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 17 min later. For tidal currents, see Minots Ledge Light, 3.3 miles north of.
