About the tides at Middle Hooper Island
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. The pattern follows the reference station at Baltimore, Fort McHenry, Patapsco River. The mean range is small, about 1.3 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 2.1 ft. Neap tides follow on October 22, when the range shrinks to 1.1 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.8 ft on July 4, and the lowest is −1.0 ft on January 22.
Middle Hooper Island is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Baltimore, Fort McHenry, Patapsco River: highs come about 280 min and lows about 279 min earlier than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1971 to 1986 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Barren Island, 4 mi away. For tidal currents, see Cedar Point, 4.7 n.mi. east of.
Predictions are based on Baltimore, Fort McHenry, Patapsco River.
