About the tides at Riverside
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Md., each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Washington, Potomac River. The mean range is small, about 1.2 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 1.7 ft on June 5, and the lowest is −0.4 ft on January 24.
Riverside is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Washington, Potomac River: highs come about 203 min and lows about 264 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Mathias Point, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 37 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Maryland Point.
Predictions are based on Washington, Potomac River.
