About the tides at Target Island

This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The range is large, about 9.2 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 11.2 ft. The next spring tides peak on Sunday, with a range of 12.9 ft. Neap tides follow tomorrow, when the range shrinks to 7.7 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 13.3 ft on November 25, and the lowest is −2.7 ft on November 25.

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 2007 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Killisnoo, 7 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 32 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Turn Point, Kootznahoo Inlet.
