About the Tides at Wells
Wells 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 8.5 feet.

The lowest water is -0.4 ft on Sunday, November 8 at 4:26 PM, and the highest is 9.9 ft on Sunday, November 8 at 10:10 AM. A minus tide like that uncovers the most beach, flats and tide pools.
