About the tides at Chesapeake City
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Maryland, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. On a typical day the water moves about 2.7 ft between high and low. That is larger than most Maryland stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.3 ft, comes on October 10, and the smallest, 2.6 ft, on Monday.
Predictions for Chesapeake City come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Old Frenchtown Wharf, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 59 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Chesapeake City Bridge, 0.45 n.mi. E of.
