About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Dover Bridge from the Baltimore, Fort McHenry station: high tides about 1.54× the height, 18 min earlier; low tides about 1.68× the height, 41 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.
