About the tides at I-526 bridge
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.9 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. With a mean range of about 5.7 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 6.2 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 7.4 ft on August 30 and bottom out at −1.3 ft on January 23.
Predictions for I-526 bridge 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 1999 to 2000 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Drayton, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 19 min later. For tidal currents, see West Marsh Island, 0.1 mile east of.
