About the tides at Pond Point
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. The mean range is small, about 1.2 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.8 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 2.0 ft. Neap tides follow on October 30, when the range shrinks to 0.9 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.2 ft on December 23, and the lowest is −0.2 ft on July 8.
This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here in 1995 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Worton Creek entrance, 8 mi away, where high tide comes about 33 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Bush River, 0.4 mi. SW of Bush Point.
