About the tides at Port Deposit
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 pattern follows the reference station at Baltimore, Fort McHenry, Patapsco River. The mean range is small, about 1.8 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is larger than most Maryland stations on this site. The next spring tides peak tomorrow, with a range of 2.6 ft. Neap tides follow on October 20, when the range shrinks to 1.6 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.3 ft on July 4, and the lowest is −0.8 ft on January 22.
Port Deposit is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Baltimore, Fort McHenry, Patapsco River: highs come about 204 min and lows about 229 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here in 1983 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Havre de Grace, 5 mi away. For tidal currents, see Havre de Grace, Susquehanna River.
Predictions are based on Baltimore, Fort McHenry, Patapsco River.
