Monie Bay - Chesapeake Bay, MD

Tidal Range

Tides in Monie Bay are semi-diurnal and have a mean range of one foot (0.3 m). The average water levels are generally lower in the winter due to north and northwest winds that increase the egress from Chesapeake Bay. On the other hand, water levels tend to be higher in the spring and summer when southerly winds reverse the process.

River Flow

Little Monie Creek, Monie Creek and Little Creek flow into Monie Bay.
