About the tides at Sheep Bay

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. With a mean range of about 9.7 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 12.2 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 14.9 ft, comes on October 11, and the smallest, 7.6 ft, on Friday.

Predictions for Sheep Bay 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 2024 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Comfort Cove, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 6 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Channel Island.
