About the tides at St. Michaels, Miles River

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 pattern follows the reference station at Baltimore, Fort McHenry, Patapsco River. Water here rises and falls only about 1.3 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.6 ft on July 4 and bottom out at −0.8 ft on January 22.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Baltimore, Fort McHenry, Patapsco River, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here in 1983 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is St. Michaels, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 43 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Deepwater Point, Miles River.

Predictions are based on Baltimore, Fort McHenry, Patapsco River.
