About the tides at Old Frenchtown Wharf

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. 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. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.5 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 2.1 ft, on October 12.

Old Frenchtown Wharf is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Chesapeake City, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 59 min later. For tidal currents, see Hendersons Point.
