About the tides at Bladensburg

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Md., each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The average range is about 2.7 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is larger than most Maryland stations on this site. The next spring tides peak tomorrow, with a range of 3.3 ft. Neap tides follow on Tuesday, when the range shrinks to 2.8 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 Kenilworth Aquatic Garden, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 14 min later. For tidal currents, see South Capitol Street Bridge.
