Source: NOAA Ocean City Inlet, station 8570283. Times use America/New_York, with EST or EDT shown. Heights are feet above MLLW. These are astronomical predictions, not measured water levels, wave heights or a swimming advisory. Data retrieved 2026-10-31T15:16:39+00:00 (UTC).

Why the schedule changes

Tide events move through the calendar rather than staying at a fixed morning or evening hour. Heights also vary through the tidal cycle. Read the event for your actual date, and do not treat a monthly average as the predicted level for a particular outing.

Local time and the year boundary

Times follow America/New_York. EST or EDT appears beside each event, so winter and summer entries are not labelled with the same fixed UTC offset. The table shows the chosen calendar month at Ocean City, including local-time events close to its start and end.

Write down	Why it matters
Your destination and station	The inlet and coastal bays can have different water-level timing.
Selected date, event and height	Avoid mixing high and low events or using a neighbouring day.
Weather and activity restrictions	Tide predictions do not include storm impacts or replace local access rules.
Return route or launch requirements	A convenient arrival time does not guarantee a safe departure.

Continue planning

Read the tide chart guide for units and datum, the inlet and bay comparison for location selection, and coastal flooding guidance for the limits of an astronomical prediction. For a shorter range use the daily date finder.
