About tides at Nantucket
Nantucket, MA sits in the New England region. Its tide predictions come from the Nantucket station (NOAA 8449130), a harmonic NOAA reference station, so predictions come straight from its own published constituents. This spot is a river/bay station, where the tide arrives later and gentler than on the open coast. Tides here swing between about 0.0 ft and 4.0 ft (MLLW) over the next 30 days. The chart above is live, and the 30-day tide forecast below lists every high and low with heights, plus sunrise, sunset, and the moon — everything you need to time a beach day, a surf session, or a low-tide walk.
