About the tides at Weekapaug Point
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. On a typical day the water moves about 2.5 ft between high and low. That is smaller than most Rhode Island stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.9 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.3 ft, comes on Friday, and the smallest, 1.8 ft, on October 17. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 3.6 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −0.5 ft on September 1.
Predictions for Weekapaug Point 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 1997 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Westerly, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 39 min later. For tidal currents, see Quonochontaug Beach, 1.1 miles S of.
