About the tides at Dover Bridge

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. The mean range is small, about 1.6 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.3 ft on July 4, and the lowest is −1.1 ft on January 22.

Dover Bridge is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Baltimore, Fort McHenry, Patapsco River: highs come about 18 min and lows about 41 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Easton Point, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 2 h 27 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Dover Bridge.

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