About the tides at York Harbor
York 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 8.5 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 10.8 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 8.1 ft.
York Harbor is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Portland: highs come about 3 min and lows about 13 min later than there. The nearest other station is Fort Point, York Harbor, 0.2 mi away, where high tide comes about 7 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Fort Point.
Predictions are based on Portland.
