The water rises and falls 15.6 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 (14.8 ft) and the lowest, on May 18 (-2.2 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

The sea at Winterport
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.2 ft
- Significant0.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest0.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Onshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 1.7 ft with a period of 3 s, from the south-southwest (slight).

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,746 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:13–4:13 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:45–4:45 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:09 am–12:09 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:22–8:22 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.

Water depth
Deepens quicklyThe bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 900 ft from shore.
From the shoreline (1,100 ft from Winterport) out to sea, heading southeast.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep240 ft
- 33 ft deep900 ft
- 66 ft deepnot within 0.25 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 0.25 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 22 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. 33 ft deep 900 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 0.25 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 0.25 mi out. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
