About the tides at Vienna
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 average range is about 2.1 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is larger than most Maryland stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.5 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 28, with a range of 2.5 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 1.6 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.7 ft on December 24, and the lowest is 0.0 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 1972 to 2010 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Sharptown, 7 mi away, where high tide comes about 41 min later. For tidal currents, see Chapter Point, Nanticoke River.
