About the tides at Cornfield Creek
This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The pattern follows the reference station at Baltimore, Fort McHenry, Patapsco River. Water here rises and falls only about 1.0 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.5 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.7 ft, comes on October 28, and the smallest, 0.4 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 1.9 ft on July 4 and bottom out at −0.6 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. NOAA measured the tide here from 1975 to 1976 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Mountain Point, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 25 min later. For tidal currents, see Craighill Channel, Belvidere Shoal.
Predictions are based on Baltimore, Fort McHenry, Patapsco River.
