About the tides at Crisfield
Crisfield has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. Water here rises and falls only about 1.9 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is larger than most Maryland stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.2 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.6 ft, comes on October 28, and the smallest, 1.5 ft, on Monday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.6 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −0.3 ft on January 23.
Predictions for Crisfield come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1977 to 1981 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Ape Hole Creek, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 7 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Janes Island Light, 2.3 n.mi. Nne of.
