About the tides at Muddy Creek Entrance

Muddy Creek Entrance has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. The average range is about 2.1 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. The next spring tides peak on October 25, with a range of 2.8 ft. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 1.4 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.2 ft on September 30, and the lowest is −0.7 ft on January 23.

Muddy Creek Entrance is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel: highs come about 254 min and lows about 291 min later than there. The nearest other station is Guard Shore, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 8 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Long Point, 2.0 n.mi. northeast of.

Predictions are based on Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel.
