About the tides at Sassafras River

Sassafras River 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 1.5 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak tomorrow, with a range of 2.2 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 1.3 ft.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. The nearest other station is Worton Creek entrance, 8 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 26 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Grove Point.
