About the tides at St. Marys
St. Marys has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. With a mean range of about 5.9 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 6.4 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 7.5 ft on September 29 and bottom out at −1.3 ft on January 23.
Predictions for St. Marys come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1973 to 1985 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Roses Bluff, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 15 min later. For tidal currents, see Range A2, Lb 29, Cumberland Sound.
