Where Havre de Grace is
Havre de Grace sits at 39.5367° N, 76.0900° W on the Chesapeake Bay, at Havre de Grace, MD, in Harford County. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 1972 until 2005, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Chesapeake City, Maryland (NOAA 8573927), 14.9 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 42 min earlier than there. The nearest weather station is Phillips Army Air Field / Aberdeen, an airport reporting wind, visibility and sky cover, but no water temperature, 6.3 mi away.
The tide at Havre de Grace
Havre de Grace has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows a day of about the same size, roughly 12 hours 25 minutes apart. This month's predictions average 1.9 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 2.5 ft, and 1.9 ft between the average high and the average low, a moderate tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.3 ft and the lower low sits 0.2 ft below the other low. For the water around it: Chesapeake tides are semidiurnal but small, 1 to 3 ft, and arrive many hours after the ocean tide as the wave works up the bay and its rivers.
About this station
- High tide reaches Havre de Grace about 2.3 hours after the moon passes overhead. That lag is local, which is why high water does not line up with the moon.
- Highest water on record: 6.8 ft on Sep 6, 1979.
- Lowest on record: -4.1 ft on Dec 25, 1980.
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 Havre de Grace from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 2.4 ft above it and mean sea level 1.2 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Baltimore, MD gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8574070, established 1972, gauge removed 2005. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
