Tides in Glen Burnie
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Next low tide 4:31 am 0.5 ft
- ▲ High tide 9:14 am 1.1 ft · coef. 81
- ▼ Low tide 3:08 pm 0.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 10:06 pm 1.9 ft · coef. 78
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 12 min to low tide at 4:31 am.
Tide coefficient 81 for the 9:14 am high tide and 78 for the 10:06 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 1.7 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on June 15 (2.1 ft) and the lowest, on February 1 (-0.5 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero of US nautical charts. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. MLLW
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 9 to 11 (coefficient 86, 1.6 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 44, 1.0 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Glen Burnie has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Stony Creek (NOAA), 5.3 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Baltimore reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Glen Burnie
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.3 ft
- Significant0.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.4 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.4 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 1.5 ft with a period of 2 s, from the south (smooth).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:40 pm to 4:10 pm, combines slack water at low tide, small waves, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 8:20 am to 10:10 am, with slack water at high tide, small waves, light wind and weak current.
Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,746 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:46–4:46 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:18–5:18 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:17 am–12:17 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:19–9:19 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity
According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.
