About the tides at Keydash
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.4 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Ocean City, Fishing Pier. The mean range is small, about 1.5 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.8 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 28, with a range of 2.5 ft. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 0.8 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.3 ft on November 25, and the lowest is −0.9 ft on January 23.
Keydash is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Ocean City, Fishing Pier: highs come about 57 min earlier and lows about 54 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1977 to 1979 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Ocean City (Isle of Wight Bay), 0.7 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 22 m later.
Predictions are based on Ocean City, Fishing Pier.
