About the tides at Kent Island Narrows

Kent Island Narrows has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at Baltimore, Fort McHenry, Patapsco River. The mean range is small, about 1.1 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak on October 28, with a range of 2.1 ft. Neap tides follow tomorrow, when the range shrinks to 1.0 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.4 ft on July 4, and the lowest is −0.8 ft on January 22.

Kent Island Narrows is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Baltimore, Fort McHenry, Patapsco River: highs come about 90 min and lows about 83 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Queenstown, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 35 m later. For tidal currents, see Kent Island Narrows (highway bridge).

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