About the tides at Whitehaven

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 2.3 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is larger than most Maryland stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 3.1 ft. Neap tides follow on Tuesday, when the range shrinks to 2.1 ft.

Whitehaven is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Great Shoals Light, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 26 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Whitehaven.
