About the tides at West Head

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at West Head, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. With a mean range of about 2.14 m, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is larger than most Nova Scotia stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.00 m, comes on November 23, and the smallest, 1.55 m, on November 17.

Predictions for West Head come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Clarks Harbour, 2.3 km away, where high tide comes about 14 min later. Heights are measured from chart datum, which in most Canadian tidal waters is set near the lowest normal tide. That is why lows here rarely go below zero.
