About the tides at West Jamestown
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 3.5 ft between high and low. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.8 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 4.8 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −0.6 ft on August 5.
Predictions for West Jamestown 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 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Castle Hill, 3 mi away. For tidal currents, see Dutch Island and Beaver Head, between.
