About the tides at General Dynamics Pier

General Dynamics Pier has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The average range is about 4.4 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 4.8 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 5.7 ft. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 3.5 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 5.8 ft on October 1, and the lowest is −0.9 ft on January 23.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1976 to 1998 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Back River Reservoir, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 4 h 6 m later. For tidal currents, see Moreland, 0.5 n.mi. below.
