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 1.1 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 1.5 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.0 ft on August 2, and the lowest is −0.6 ft on January 22.

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 from 2006 to 2010 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Tilghman Island, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 8 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Poplar Island, east of south end.
