The closest gauge measuring live water level is Bishops Head, Hooper Strait (NOAA 8571421), 19.3 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 64 min earlier than there. The nearest weather station is Bishops Head, MD, a shore station reporting wind and, at most sites, water temperature, 19.3 mi away.
The tide at Crisfield, Little Annemessex River
Crisfield, Little Annemessex River has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows a day of about the same size, roughly 12 hours 25 minutes apart.

About this station
- High tide reaches Crisfield, Little Annemessex River about 5.2 hours after the moon passes overhead. That lag is local, which is why high water does not line up with the moon.
Datum and source
Heights on this page are feet above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero NOAA's nautical charts use for soundings. A predicted 0.0 ft low is the average of the lower low each day; a minus tide is water below chart datum, and a 2 ft high means 2 ft more water than the chart shows. NOAA fixes MLLW at Crisfield, Little Annemessex River from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 2.2 ft above it and mean sea level 1.0 ft. The land survey datum NAVD88, the zero on topographic maps and flood maps, is 1.2 ft above MLLW here, so a water level on this page converts to NAVD88 by subtracting that amount. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Sewells Point, VA gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8571091, established 1977, gauge removed 1981. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
