About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Chincoteague Island, Oyster Bay from the OCEAN CITY (FISHING PIER) station: high tides about 0.46× the height, 104 min later; low tides about 0.56× the height, 125 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.
