About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Prudence Island, (south end) from the NEWPORT station: high tides about 1.08× the height, 8 min later; low tides about 1.14× the height, 3 min earlier.

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.
