About the tides at Cambridge

Cambridge has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The mean range is small, about 1.6 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 2.0 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.5 ft on August 2, and the lowest is −0.6 ft on January 22.

Choptank River is a NOAA water level station with a live gauge, updated every 6 minutes. Predictions come from the station's own tide records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 1980. The nearest other station is Woolford, 8 mi away, where high tide comes about 23 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Cambridge hwy. bridge, W. of Swing Span.
