About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Essex from the NEW LONDON, State Pier station: high tides about 1.16× the height, 99 min later; low tides about 1.15× the height, 98 min later.
Rocky shores and the country's biggest northern ranges: Eastport flirts with 20 ft, and the Gulf of Maine funnels weather as much as tide. Harbors here float — or sit in the mud — on the moon's schedule.
