About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Chesapeake Beach from the Baltimore, Fort McHenry station: high tides about 0.88× the height, 167 min earlier; low tides about the same height, 185 min earlier.
Barrier islands, big bays, and river tides: Chesapeake and Delaware bays carry the tide deep inland, and a nor'easter can hold water in, or blow it out, for days at a time.
