About the tides at Benedict

This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The pattern follows the reference station at Baltimore, Fort McHenry, Patapsco River. The mean range is small, about 1.5 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.2 ft on July 4, and the lowest is −1.2 ft on January 22.

Benedict is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Baltimore, Fort McHenry, Patapsco River: highs come about 234 min and lows about 234 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Broomes Island, 10 mi away, where high tide comes about 19 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Benedict, highway bridge.

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