About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Great Machipongo Inlet (inside) from the OCEAN CITY (FISHING PIER) station: high tides about 1.16× the height, 65 min later; low tides about 1.25× the height, 56 min later.

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.
