About the tides at Vineyard Haven
Vineyard Haven has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. Water here rises and falls only about 1.6 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most Massachusetts stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.1 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.6 ft on July 2 and bottom out at −0.4 ft on January 22.
Predictions for Vineyard Haven 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 1994 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Oak Bluffs, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 9 min later. For tidal currents, see Vineyard Haven.
