About Birch Islands tides
Birch Islands is a NOAA subordinate station (8410875): NOAA predicts its times and heights from Eastport (8410140) with offsets for this spot, so treat them as a close guide rather than an exact prediction. Heights are in feet above MLLW (Mean Lower Low Water), the datum of US nautical charts, so they line up with charted depths.
In the next 30 days, Birch Islands has two highs and two lows on 26 days and three turns on 4 days, and the daily range runs from 13.1 to 21.8 ft. That is a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows a day, each pair close in height.
Use the curve above to time a harbor entrance, a beach walk, fishing a moving tide or clearing a shallow bar, and remember that wind, air pressure and river flow can push the real water level above or below the prediction. The daily tidal range in the tables shows how much water moves each day: bigger ranges around the new and full moon mean stronger currents.
The latest water temperature near Birch Islands is about 52°F, from NOAA station 8410140, 9 mi away, at 3:30 AM EDT. Water temperature shapes where fish hold and feed, and tells you what to wear in the water, so check it alongside the tide before you head out.

How accurate are these tide predictions?+
Birch Islands is a NOAA subordinate station (8410875). NOAA predicts its times and heights from Eastport (8410140) with offsets for this spot, so treat them as a close guide rather than an exact prediction. Real water levels can also differ with wind, air pressure and river flow.
What is the water temperature at Birch Islands?+
The latest water temperature near Birch Islands is about 52°F, from NOAA station 8410140, 9 mi away, at 3:30 AM EDT. Water temperature drives fish behavior and tells you what to wear in the water, so it's worth checking alongside the tide.
