About the tides at Poplar Island

Poplar Island has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The mean range is small, about 1.0 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 1.6 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 1.0 ft.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. The nearest other station is Tilghman Island, 3 mi away. For tidal currents, see Poplar Island, east of south end.
