Where Martha's Vineyard Gps Buoy is
Martha's Vineyard Gps Buoy sits at 41.3262° N, 70.5903° W on the southern New England coast, about 5 mi southwest of Edgartown, MA. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 2015 until 2015, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Oceanographic Institution (NOAA 8447930), 14.3 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 79 min earlier than there. The nearest weather station is Marthas Vineyard Airport, an airport reporting wind, visibility and sky cover, but no water temperature, 4.8 mi away.
The tide at Martha's Vineyard Gps Buoy
Martha's Vineyard Gps Buoy 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 3.1 ft, and 2.8 ft between the average high and the average low, a moderate tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.2 ft and the lower low sits 0.1 ft below the other low. For the water around it: Tides along Narragansett Bay, Buzzards Bay and the islands are semidiurnal but vary sharply over short distances, from 1 ft on Nantucket Sound to 4 ft in Narragansett Bay.
About this station
- High tide reaches Martha's Vineyard Gps Buoy about 12.2 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 Martha's Vineyard Gps Buoy from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 3.1 ft above it and mean sea level 1.4 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Newport, RI gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8448875, established 2015, gauge removed 2015. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
