About the tides at Lower Marlboro
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Patuxent River, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The mean range is small, about 1.8 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is larger than most Maryland stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.1 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.3 ft on November 25, and the lowest is 0.0 ft on September 2.
This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1972 to 2010 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Chesapeake Beach, 9 mi away. For tidal currents, see Lyons Creek Wharf.
