Wind and weather at Stratford

Seven days from the National Weather Service forecast for this stretch of coast. Each row is the range across the whole day, not a reading for one moment.

Boating, beach and fishing at Stratford

The same forecast as above, read for three things people do here. Each verdict names what decided it.

Boating turns to Poor at the National Weather Service small craft threshold — sustained wind of 22 kn, gusts of 26 kn, or seas of 5 ft — and to Fair at 15 kn or 3 ft. Beach weighs air temperature, chance of rain and wind.Fishing asks whether the day is fishable at all and whether a solunar major window falls in daylight; it is not a prediction of what will bite. None of this replaces the marine forecast before you go out.

Sun and moon

Solunar windows for Stratford

The moon pulls hardest when it is directly overhead or on the far side of the earth — the two major windows of about two hours. The shorter minor windows sit around moonrise and moonset. Anglers use them to pick a time on the water; they are computed from the moon's position, not measured.

Times are local to Stratford (America/New_York).

Questions about Stratford tides

Answered from the same NOAA predictions as the table above. Where this page has no basis for an answer, there is no entry.

What time is high tide in Stratford today?

High water at 4:18 am (6.4 ft) and 4:40 pm (7.1 ft), local time in Stratford. Heights are feet above MLLW. Because the tide runs on the moon rather than the clock, each turn falls roughly 50 minutes later tomorrow — the seven-day table above carries the shift.

What time is low tide in Stratford today?

Low water at 10:27 am (0.9 ft) and 11:10 pm (0.9 ft), local time in Stratford. A height below zero is a minus tide: the water falls further than MLLW, the level the heights are counted from.

How many tides does Stratford get in a day?

Two high waters and two low waters on most days, a little over six hours apart. Over the seven days on this page that comes to 14 high waters and 13 low waters. Where a date shows only three turns, the fourth has slipped past midnight and is listed under the following day.

What is the tidal range at Stratford?

About 6.2 ft between today's lowest and highest water. Across the next seven days the water moves between 0.9 and 7.1 ft — a span of about 6.2 ft. The range is widest around new and full moon and narrowest at the quarters, so it changes from week to week.

Which tide station do these Stratford tide times come from?

NOAA station 8466797, Stratford, I-95 bridge — a subordinate station. I-95 bridge station on the Housatonic River, 1.4 km from the town center, near where the river meets Long Island Sound. A subordinate station carries no gauge of its own: NOAA publishes its times as an offset from a nearby reference station, which is how the agency itself issues them. The predictions here are NOAA's, unchanged.

The major windows run 4:13 am to 6:13 am and 4:36 pm to 6:36 pm, with shorter minor windows around moonrise and moonset. They are computed from the moon's position over Stratford, not measured — anglers use them to pick a time on the water. The moon is 36% lit and waxing.
