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 1.6 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.2 ft. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 2.1 ft. Neap tides follow on Saturday, when the range shrinks to 0.9 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.5 ft on November 25, and the lowest is 0.0 ft on November 25.

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 from 1971 to 2000 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Worton Creek entrance, 8 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 31 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Grove Point.
