About the tides at Fort McHenry Marsh

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. Water here rises and falls only about 1.1 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.8 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 0.9 ft, on Friday.

Predictions for Fort McHenry Marsh come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Baltimore, 0.5 mi away. For tidal currents, see Fort McHenry, NW Harbor entrance.
