About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Goose Creek, Port Tobacco River, Md. from the WASHINGTON, Washington Channel, D.C. station: high tides about 0.54× the height, 248 min earlier; low tides about 0.60× the height, 307 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.
