About the tides at Cove Point

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Cove Point, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The mean range is small, about 1.0 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.4 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 1.3 ft. Neap tides follow on Wednesday, when the range shrinks to 0.7 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 1.6 ft on September 2, and the lowest is −0.5 ft on January 22.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1972 to 1983 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Solomons Island, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 21 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Cove Point, 1.0 n.mi. N of.
