About the tides at Galesville

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. Water here rises and falls only about 0.8 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most Maryland stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.5 ft, comes on October 28, and the smallest, 0.3 ft, on Monday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 1.7 ft on July 4 and bottom out at −0.6 ft on January 22.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Baltimore, Fort McHenry, Patapsco River, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Rhode River (County Wharf), 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 28 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Cheston Point, south of, West River.

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