About the tides at Cliffs Wharf

Cliffs Wharf 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 1.4 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak on October 28, with a range of 2.5 ft. Neap tides follow on October 31, when the range shrinks to 1.1 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.9 ft on July 4, and the lowest is −0.8 ft on January 22.

Cliffs Wharf is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Baltimore, Fort McHenry, Patapsco River: highs come about 9 min later and lows about 8 min earlier than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1971 to 1983 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Cliffs Point, 0.3 mi away. For tidal currents, see Deep Point.

Predictions are based on Baltimore, Fort McHenry, Patapsco River.
