About the tides at Smith's Dock

Smith's Dock 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 Springmaid Pier, Atlantic Ocean. The average range is about 4.3 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 4.9 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 6.0 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 3.1 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 5.9 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −1.4 ft on January 23.

Smith's Dock is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Springmaid Pier, Atlantic Ocean: highs come about 61 min and lows about 96 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1974 to 1976 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Captain Alex's Marina, 0.7 mi away.

Predictions are based on Springmaid Pier, Atlantic Ocean.
