About the tides at Bishops Head

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.2 ft. The mean range is small, about 1.7 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is larger than most Maryland stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 2.2 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 1.7 ft.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. The nearest other station is Hooper Strait Light, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 7 min later. For tidal currents, see Hooper Strait, at Buoy '4'.
