About the tides at Wachusett Inlet

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 pattern follows the reference station at Elfin Cove, Port Althorp. Wachusett Inlet sees a mean range of about 14.0 ft. Low tide can expose a wide area, and the return is fast. That is larger than most Alaska stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 20.5 ft, comes tomorrow, and the smallest, 9.6 ft, on Friday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 22.0 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −3.9 ft on July 5.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Elfin Cove, Port Althorp, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here from 1972 to 2009 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Muir Inlet, 8 mi away.

Predictions are based on Elfin Cove, Port Althorp.
