About the tides at Southport

Southport has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The range is large, about 6.8 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is larger than most Connecticut stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 7.4 ft. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 8.5 ft. Neap tides follow on Saturday, when the range shrinks to 6.5 ft.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here in 2003 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Black Rock Harbor, 4 mi away. For tidal currents, see Pine Creek Point, 2.3 miles SSE of.
