About the tides at Southport

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Townsend Cut, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Portland,casco Bay. The range is large, about 8.7 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 11.4 ft on December 25, and the lowest is −1.8 ft on January 23.

Southport is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Portland,casco Bay: highs come about 1 min and lows about 1 min later than there. The nearest other station is Isle of Springs, 2 mi away. For tidal currents, see Lowe Point, NE of, Sasanoa River.
