About the tides at Seal Island
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.24 m. With a mean range of about 2.41 m, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is larger than most Nova Scotia stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.16 m, comes today, and the smallest, 2.33 m, on Monday.
Predictions for Seal Island come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Flat Island, 11 km away, where high tide comes about 5 min earlier. Heights are measured from chart datum, which in most Canadian tidal waters is set near the lowest normal tide. That is why lows here rarely go below zero.
