About the tides at Love Point

This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. Water here rises and falls only about 1.2 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.7 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.9 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 0.8 ft, tomorrow. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.1 ft on July 3 and bottom out at −0.5 ft on January 22.

Predictions for Love Point 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 1971 to 2000 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Kent Island Narrows, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 59 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Love Point, 1.6 n.mi. east of.
