About the Tides at Pilottown
Pilottown gets just one high tide and one low tide on most days, instead of the two a day many coasts see. On a typical day the water rises and falls about 1.1 feet.
Over the next two weeks the biggest tides come on Wednesday, November 11, when the water moves about 1.3 feet. The lowest water is -0.7 ft on Wednesday, November 11 at 10:06 AM, and the highest is 0.6 ft on Tuesday, November 10 at 9:53 PM. A minus tide like that uncovers the most beach, flats and tide pools.
