Tides in Cherryfield
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 1:21 am 11.8 ft · coef. 83
- ▼ Next low tide 7:37 am 0.6 ft
- ▲ High tide 1:33 pm 13.4 ft · coef. 82
- ▼ Low tide 8:18 pm -0.9 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 2 h 36 min to low tide at 7:37 am.
Tide coefficient 83 for the 1:21 am high tide and 82 for the 1:33 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 14.3 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on December 25 (13.8 ft) and the lowest, on May 18 (-1.5 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
Heights above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero of US nautical charts. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. MLLW
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 27 to 30 (coefficient 83, 14.4 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 20 (coefficient 49, 7.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Cherryfield has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Millbridge (NOAA), 5.3 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

The sea at Cherryfield
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.9 ft
- Significant1.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.5 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.5 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 5.0 ft with a period of 5 s, from the south-southwest (moderate).

Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:09–4:09 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:42–4:42 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:05 am–12:05 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:18–8:18 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity
According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.
