About the tides at South Hartford
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.4 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. Water here rises and falls only about 1.9 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most Connecticut stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.3 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.5 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 1.8 ft, on Tuesday.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at NEW LONDON, State Pier, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here in 1988 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Hartford, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 6 min later. For tidal currents, see Hartford Jetty.
Predictions are based on NEW LONDON, State Pier.
