About the tides at Cbbt

Cbbt has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. On a typical day the water moves about 2.7 ft between high and low. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.0 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 3.8 ft on October 1 and bottom out at −0.8 ft on January 23.

A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It also reports wind and air pressure. It was established in 2016. The nearest other station is Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, 5 mi away. For tidal currents, see Chesapeake Channel (bridge tunnel).
