About the tides at Winter Harbor

Winter Harbor has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The range is large, about 9.8 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 12.1 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 9.1 ft.

Winter Harbor is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Bar Harbor: highs come about 1 min earlier and lows about 10 min later than there. The nearest other station is Prospect Harbor, 3 mi away.

Predictions are based on Bar Harbor.
