Where Gravelly Point, Whiting Bay is
Gravelly Point, Whiting Bay sits at 44.8233° N, 67.1517° W on the Gulf of Maine, about 8 mi west of Lubec, ME. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 2010 until 2010, 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), 10.0 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 75 min later than there. The nearest weather station is Eastport, ME, a shore station reporting wind and, at most sites, water temperature, 10.0 mi away.
The tide at Gravelly Point, Whiting Bay
Gravelly Point, Whiting Bay 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 18.7 ft, and 17.9 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 0.3 ft below the other low.

About this station
- High tide reaches Gravelly Point, Whiting Bay about 4.4 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 Gravelly Point, Whiting Bay from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 18.7 ft above it and mean sea level 9.3 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Eastport, ME gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8410864, established 2010, gauge removed 2010. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
