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 average range is about 2.1 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is larger than most Maryland stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 3.0 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 2.3 ft.

Ocean City (Isle of Wight Bay) is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Ocean City Inlet, 0.2 mi away, where high tide comes about 7 min later.
