About the tides at Stonington

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Deer Isle, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The range is large, about 9.4 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 11.6 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 8.7 ft.

Stonington is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Bar Harbor: highs come about 8 min and lows about 6 min later than there. The nearest other station is Oceanville, 3 mi away. For tidal currents, see Russ Island, N of, Deer Island Thorofare.

Predictions are based on Bar Harbor.
