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 2.0 ft between high and low. That is larger than most Maryland stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.7 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 2.2 ft, on Sunday.

Predictions for Ocean City Inlet come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Ocean City (Isle of Wight Bay), 0.2 mi away, where high tide comes about 7 min earlier.
