About the tides at Meadowville

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Meadowville, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Washington, Potomac River. On a typical day the water moves about 2.6 ft between high and low. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.5 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 1.8 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 3.8 ft on September 30 and bottom out at −1.0 ft on January 24.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Washington, Potomac River, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Chester, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 7 min later. For tidal currents, see Dutch Gap Canal, 0.5 mile east of.
