About the tides at Browns Bay

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 mean range is small, about 1.9 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 2.9 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 1.9 ft.

Browns Bay is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Tue Marshes Light, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 14 min later. For tidal currents, see Tue Marshes Light, 0.7 n.mi. north of.
