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 2.8 ft between high and low. That is larger than most Maryland stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.2 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.3 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 2.3 ft, on October 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 3.7 ft on September 3 and bottom out at −0.6 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 water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 1972. The nearest other station is Old Frenchtown Wharf, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 46 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Chesapeake City Bridge, 0.45 n.mi. E of.
