About the tides at Wiscasset
Wiscasset has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. With a mean range of about 9.5 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 10.2 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 11.7 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 8.8 ft, on Sunday.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Portland, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here in 2015 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Back River, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 18 min later. For tidal currents, see Sheepscot River, off Barter Island.
Predictions are based on Portland.
