About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Glebe Point, Great Wicomico River from the CHESAPEAKE BAY BRIDGE TUNNEL station: high tides about 0.49× the height, 255 min later; low tides about 0.83× the height, 277 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.
