About the tides at USCG Freeport
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.4 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. Water here rises and falls only about 1.2 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.6 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.4 ft, comes tomorrow, and the smallest, 0.9 ft, on October 8.
Predictions for USCG Freeport come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 2006 to 2020 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Freeport Harbor, 8772440, 0.5 mi away. For tidal currents, see Surfside Bridge.
