Tide questions

What time is high tide in Washington, DC today?

Today's high and low tide times for Washington, DC are shown above, from NOAA's official CO-OPS predictions for the WASHINGTON, Washington Channel, D.C. station. Times are in the station's local time.

How far is the tide station from Washington, DC?

The reference NOAA station (WASHINGTON, Washington Channel, D.C.) is about 4.4 km from Washington, DC's center. Tide times shift along the coast, so the further from the station you are, the more local conditions can differ.

Why do tides shift about 50 minutes later each day?

The moon rises about 50 minutes later each day because it moves forward in its orbit while the Earth rotates. The tides follow the moon, so each day's high and low tides land roughly 50 minutes later on the clock.
