Where these times come from. There is no official tide station at Baltimore.
These are the Marine Institute's predictions for Union Hall, the nearest
official station, 18 km away. Times at Baltimore will differ by a few minutes. We do not invent a local
correction, because a made up offset is worse than a stated approximation.

Onshore. Baltimore faces SSW, so a SW wind is blowing in off the sea, choppier water and easier entry drift toward the beach.

Baltimore tide questions
- What time is high tide at Baltimore today?
- Today's high water times are shown at the top of this page, taken from the Union Hall station 18 km away. There are two high waters roughly every 24 hours and 50 minutes, and local times at Baltimore differ from the station by a few minutes.
- Is there an official tide station at Baltimore?
- No. The Marine Institute does not predict for Baltimore directly. The nearest official station is Union Hall, 18 km away, and that is what these times come from. We do not apply an invented local correction.
- What is the best tide for swimming at Baltimore?
- This is a slip, steps or pier entry, so depth arrives with the tide. The usable window is roughly two hours either side of high water.
- Which way does Baltimore face?
- Baltimore faces SSW, so a wind from that direction is onshore and a wind from the opposite side is offshore.
