About the tides at Barren Island

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Chesapeake Bay, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The mean range is small, about 1.2 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.6 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 1.9 ft on September 1, and the lowest is −0.5 ft on January 22.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 2001 to 2003 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Middle Hooper Island, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 6 min later. For tidal currents, see Cove Point, 3.9 n.mi. east of.
