About the tides at McCready's Creek

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at McCreadys Creek, Fishing Bay, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The average range is about 2.1 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is larger than most Maryland stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.4 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 2.9 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 1.5 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.8 ft on November 25, and the lowest is −0.3 ft on January 23.

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 1981 to 2010 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Roaring Point, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 16 min later. For tidal currents, see Roaring Point, Wsw of Nanticoke River.
