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 2.5 ft between high and low. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.4 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 2.6 ft, on Sunday.

Predictions for Cbbt come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, 5 mi away. For tidal currents, see Chesapeake Channel (bridge tunnel).
