About the tides at Avalon

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.6 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Baltimore, Fort McHenry, Patapsco River. Water here rises and falls only about 1.2 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.2 ft, comes on October 28, and the smallest, 0.5 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.5 ft on July 4 and bottom out at −0.9 ft on January 22.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Baltimore, Fort McHenry, Patapsco River, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here in 1983 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Tilghman Island, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 21 min later. For tidal currents, see Bald Eagle Pt., east of, Harris Creek.

Predictions are based on Baltimore, Fort McHenry, Patapsco River.
