About the tides at Queenstown

Queenstown has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at Baltimore, Fort McHenry, Patapsco River. Water here rises and falls only about 1.2 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.9 ft, comes on October 25, and the smallest, 0.6 ft, on Saturday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.5 ft on July 4 and bottom out at −0.8 ft on January 22.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Baltimore, Fort McHenry, Patapsco River, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Kent Island Narrows, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 35 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Hail Point, 0.7 n.mi.east of.

Predictions are based on Baltimore, Fort McHenry, Patapsco River.
