About the tides at Chesapeake Beach

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 0.9 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Maryland stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 1.5 ft. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 0.7 ft.

Chesapeake Beach is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Rose Haven, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 10 min later. For tidal currents, see Holland Point, 2.0 n.mi east of.
