Tide Chart for Ogunquit Beach, 2009

This chart shows the times of high tide for Ogunquit Beach for Winter & Spring 2008. To find the times for low tide just add or subtract about 6 hours and ten minutes to or from these times.

The times of high tide are approximate*. Tides are affected by the cycles of the moon primarily but are also influenced by weather. An offshore wind can push the water back from the shore a bit and on onshore wind can push the water higher onto the beach.

The tides are highest and lowest one day after the full moon and again a day after the new moon . These are called "Spring" tides. Nothing to do with the season, think of spring meaning that the water has the most spring in its' movement or that it springs up and down the beach. The time of spring tides is a good time to go tide pooling at low tide or shopping at high tide.

Between the spring tides are what are called neap tides. "Neap" tides might as well be called boring tides. They are neither very high nor very low. Neap tides occur around the time of the first quarter and last quarter moon phases.
