About the tides at Stamford

Stamford has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. With a mean range of about 7.2 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is larger than most Connecticut stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 7.8 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 9.2 ft on September 2 and bottom out at −1.6 ft on January 23.

Predictions for Stamford 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 2015 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Cos Cob Harbor, 3 mi away. For tidal currents, see Stamford Harbor entrance.
