About the tides at Kingman Lake
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.3 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at WASHINGTON, Washington Channel, D.C.. On a typical day the water moves about 2.6 ft between high and low. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.3 ft, comes on Saturday, and the smallest, 2.0 ft, on October 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 3.7 ft on June 5 and bottom out at −0.9 ft on January 24.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at WASHINGTON, Washington Channel, D.C., with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here from 1995 to 1996 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Kenilworth Aquatic Garden, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 7 min later. For tidal currents, see South Capitol Street Bridge.
