About the tides at Salisbury

Salisbury has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The average range is about 3.1 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is larger than most Maryland stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.5 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 4.3 ft. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 2.1 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 4.3 ft on September 2, and the lowest is −0.9 ft on January 24.

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 in 1989 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Whitehaven, 12 mi away, where high tide comes about 27 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Salisbury, 2 miles below.
