Magnetic Point gets two high tides and two low tides most days, both about the same size. On a typical day the water rises and falls about 14.3 feet.

The lowest water is -1.7 ft on Monday, November 9 at 6:45 PM, and the highest is 17.7 ft on Sunday, November 8 at 11:48 AM. A minus tide like that uncovers the most beach, flats and tide pools.
