About the tides at Ocean City (Fishing Pier)
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 average range is about 3.4 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 3.9 ft. The next spring tides peak tomorrow, with a range of 4.4 ft. Neap tides follow on October 19, when the range shrinks to 2.5 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 5.0 ft on November 25, and the lowest is −1.1 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 1975 to 1992 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Ocean City Inlet, 0.5 mi away, where high tide comes about 31 min later.
