Where Kent Point Marina is
Kent Point Marina sits at 38.8367° N, 76.3733° W on the Chesapeake Bay, about 3 mi south of Romancoke, MD. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 1996 until 2000, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Annapolis (US Naval Academy) (NOAA 8575512), 11.7 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 47 min earlier than there. The nearest weather station is Thomas Point, MD, a shore station reporting wind and, at most sites, water temperature, 5.5 mi away.
The tide at Kent Point Marina
Kent Point Marina has a mixed tide: two highs and two lows a day, but of unequal size, so one low each day drains a little lower than the other. This month's predictions average 1.9 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 1.6 ft, and 1.1 ft between the average high and the average low, a small tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.2 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 Kent Point Marina about 9.2 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: 4.8 ft on Sep 6, 1996.
- Lowest on record: -2.7 ft on Apr 1, 1997.
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 Kent Point Marina from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 1.5 ft above it and mean sea level 0.8 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Annapolis, MD gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8572467, established 1996, gauge removed 2000. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
