About the tides at Ocean City (Isle of Wight Bay)

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.6 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Ocean City, Fishing Pier. The average range is about 2.2 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 2.6 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 28, with a range of 3.5 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 1.5 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.3 ft on November 25, and the lowest is −1.0 ft on January 23.

Ocean City (Isle of Wight Bay) is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Ocean City, Fishing Pier: highs come about 25 min and lows about 23 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1974 to 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Ocean City Inlet, 0.2 mi away.

Predictions are based on Ocean City, Fishing Pier.
