About District of Columbia tides
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.
District of Columbia has 5 NOAA tide stations — 1 reference stations whose predictions come from harmonic analysis of observations there, and 4 subordinate stations calculated from them. The biggest tidal range in the state is at Kenilworth Aquatic Garden — 3.3 ft between mean higher high water and mean lower low water.
