About the tides at Cornfield Harbor

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.2 ft. The mean range is small, about 1.2 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak on October 10, with a range of 1.5 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 1.1 ft.

Cornfield Harbor is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Point Lookout, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 42 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Cornfield Point, midchannel.

Tide predictions and water levels from NOAA CO-OPS. For planning only, not for navigation. Real water levels can differ because of wind, air pressure and river flow. Always check conditions on site.
