About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Kent Island Narrows from the Baltimore, Fort McHenry station: high tides about 1.10× the height, 90 min earlier; low tides about 1.18× the height, 83 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.
