About the tides at Scotland

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.5 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. Water here rises and falls only about 2.0 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.3 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.9 ft on October 27 and bottom out at −0.4 ft on January 24.

Predictions for Scotland come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1972 to 2003 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Jamestown, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 14 min later. For tidal currents, see Jamestown Island, Church Point.
