About the tides at Smithville Road Bridge
This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The mean range is small, about 1.3 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 1.6 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 1.9 ft on September 30, and the lowest is −0.6 ft on January 22.
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 2005 to 2008 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Taylors Island, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 33 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Cove Point, 3.9 n.mi. east of.
