About the tides at Solomons Island
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.1 ft. Water here rises and falls only about 1.2 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.5 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.6 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 1.0 ft, on Monday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 1.9 ft on September 29 and bottom out at −0.6 ft on January 23.
A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 1937. The nearest other station is Cove Point, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 24 min later. For tidal currents, see Sandy Point, 0.5 mile south of.
