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. The pattern follows the reference station at Baltimore, Fort McHenry, Patapsco River. 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, 2.6 ft, comes on October 25, and the smallest, 1.1 ft, on Thursday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 3.5 ft on July 4 and bottom out at −1.2 ft on January 22.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Baltimore, Fort McHenry, Patapsco River, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Cliffs Wharf, 8 mi away, where high tide comes about 54 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Chestertown.
Predictions are based on Baltimore, Fort McHenry, Patapsco River.
