Where Garnet Point, Pennamquan River is
Garnet Point, Pennamquan River sits at 44.9233° N, 67.1300° W on the Gulf of Maine, about 4 mi west of Eastport, ME. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 1985 until 1985, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Eastport (NOAA 8410140), 7.3 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 18 min later than there. The nearest weather station is Eastport, ME, a shore station reporting wind and, at most sites, water temperature, 7.3 mi away.
The tide at Garnet Point, Pennamquan River
Garnet Point, Pennamquan River has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows a day of about the same size, roughly 12 hours 25 minutes apart. This month's predictions average 1.9 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 20.1 ft, and 19.2 ft between the average high and the average low, a very large tide, among the biggest in the United States. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.5 ft and the lower low sits 0.5 ft below the other low. For the water around it: Gulf of Maine tides are semidiurnal and large, 9 ft at Boston rising past 18 ft toward the Bay of Fundy.
About this station
- High tide reaches Garnet Point, Pennamquan River about 3.5 hours after the moon passes overhead. That lag is local, which is why high water does not line up with the moon.
Datum and source
Heights on this page are feet above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero NOAA's nautical charts use for soundings. A predicted 0.0 ft low is the average of the lower low each day; a minus tide is water below chart datum, and a 2 ft high means 2 ft more water than the chart shows. NOAA fixes MLLW at Garnet Point, Pennamquan River from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 20.2 ft above it and mean sea level 10.2 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Eastport, ME gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8410715, established 1985, gauge removed 1985. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
