About the tides at Wells
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.8 ft. With a mean range of about 8.8 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 9.6 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 10.9 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 8.2 ft, on Sunday.
Predictions for Wells 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 1999 to 2022 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Kennebunkport, 5 mi away.
