About the tides at Scots Bay
Scots Bay has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The tide range here is very large, about 9.31 m on average. Water can come in faster than you can walk across flats. Check the time before you go out. That is larger than most Nova Scotia stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 11.52 m. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 9.54 m.
This is a prediction station. CHS calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. The nearest other station is Cape Sharp, 6.7 km away, where high tide comes about 28 min later. Canadian tide heights use chart datum, a level set low on purpose. Negative heights are uncommon.
