King tides in Rhode Island, 2026

The biggest predicted tide in Rhode Island in 2026 reaches 5.7 ft above MLLW at KICKAMUIT RIVER on Sunday, June 14, at 8:24 PMlocal time. Below are all of the year's king tide windows — the top 1% of predicted highs — for NOAA reference stations along the Rhode Islandcoast. King tides are perigean spring tides: they arrive when a full or new moon lines up with the moon's closest approach to Earth, and they preview the flooding that sea level rise will make routine.
