About the tides at Wellfleet

Wellfleet has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The pattern follows the reference station at Boston. The range is large, about 9.6 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 12.2 ft. Neap tides follow on Saturday, when the range shrinks to 9.6 ft.

Wellfleet is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Boston: highs come about 14 min and lows about 30 min later than there. The nearest other station is Provincetown, 11 mi away, where high tide comes about 7 min earlier.

Predictions are based on Boston.
