About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Gay Head from the NEWPORT station: high tides about 0.82× the height, 6 min earlier; low tides about 0.82× the height, 45 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.
