Boating, beach and fishing at Rockland

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.

Solunar windows for Rockland

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.

Questions about Rockland tides

Answered from the same NOAA predictions as the table above; the solunar windows come from this page's own moon calculation. Where this page has no basis for an answer, there is no entry.

What time is high tide in Rockland today?
High water at 12:53 am (11.1 ft) and 1:14 pm (11.1 ft), local time in Rockland. 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 Rockland today?
Low water at 6:59 am (-0.4 ft) and 7:23 pm (-0.4 ft), local time in Rockland. 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 Rockland 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.
What is the tidal range at Rockland?
About 11.5 ft between today's lowest and highest water. Across the next seven days the water moves between -0.4 and 11.1 ft — a span of about 11.5 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 Rockland tide times come from?
NOAA station 8415490 — a reference station, about 3.1 km from the centre of Rockland. A reference station has its own long-running record, which is the strongest basis NOAA publishes. The predictions here are NOAA's, unchanged.
What time zone are the Rockland tide times in?
Every time on this page is clock time in Rockland — the America/New_York zone, daylight saving already applied. Nothing has to be converted, and no time is shown in UTC except the retrieval stamp at the foot of the page.
When are the solunar windows at Rockland today?
The major windows run 1:03 am to 3:03 am and 1:25 pm to 3:25 pm, with shorter minor windows around moonrise and moonset. They are computed from the moon's position over Rockland, not measured — anglers use them to pick a time on the water. The moon is 7% lit and waxing.
How far ahead does this Rockland tide chart go?
Seven days in the table, and every high and low water for September 2026 and October 2026 in the calendar below it. The page is rebuilt every morning, so the first day is always today.
