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. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.7 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.2 ft on July 3 and bottom out at −0.6 ft on January 22.

Predictions for Fort McHenry Marsh 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 2004 to 2005 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Baltimore, 0.5 mi away. For tidal currents, see Fort McHenry, NW Harbor entrance.
