About the tides at Chestertown

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.8 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. Water here rises and falls only about 1.6 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is larger than most Maryland stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.8 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 1.5 ft, tomorrow.

Chestertown is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Cliffs Wharf, 8 mi away, where high tide comes about 54 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Chestertown.
