About the tides at Claiborne
Claiborne has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at Baltimore, Fort McHenry, Patapsco River. 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 October 19, when the range shrinks to 0.4 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.1 ft on July 4, and the lowest is −0.7 ft on January 22.
Claiborne is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Baltimore, Fort McHenry, Patapsco River: highs come about 146 min and lows about 148 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is St. Michaels, Miles River, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 14 min later. For tidal currents, see Long Point, 1 mile southeast of.
Predictions are based on Baltimore, Fort McHenry, Patapsco River.
