About the tides at Tolchester Beach
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 1.2 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 1.7 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.2 ft on August 1, and the lowest is −0.6 ft on January 22.
Chesapeake Bay is a NOAA water level station with a live gauge, updated every 6 minutes. Predictions come from the station's own tide records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 1971. The nearest other station is Deep Landing, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 25 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Tolchester Beach, 0.33 n.mi. west of.
