About the tides at 2.5 n.mi. above entrance

2.5 n.mi. above entrance has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The average range is about 4.6 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. The next spring tides peak on October 10, with a range of 5.5 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 4.4 ft.

2.5 n.mi. above entrance is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Abbots Meadow, 0.7 mi away, where high tide comes about 7 min earlier. For tidal currents, see New Bridge, Alloway Creek.
