About the tides at Ocean City Inlet

Ocean City Inlet has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. On a typical day the water moves about 2.1 ft between high and low. That is larger than most Maryland stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.5 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 3.1 ft on September 30 and bottom out at −0.8 ft on January 23.

A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 1978. The nearest other station is Ocean City (Isle of Wight Bay), 0.2 mi away.
