Tidal currents near Annapolis (US Naval Academy)
From NOAA's current predictions for Greenbury Point, 1.8 miles east of at 8 ft depth, 3.5 miles away. Slack is when the current turns and the water is calmest; flood runs in with the rising tide and ebb runs out with the falling tide. Times are the peak of each run, in knots. The flood runs toward the ENE (70°) and the ebb toward the WSW (245°). The strongest current this week is 0.9 knots.

Best fishing times at Annapolis (US Naval Academy)
Solunar periods for this spot: major periods (about two hours) are centred on the moon passing overhead or underfoot, and minor periods (about an hour) on moonrise and moonset. Days near the new and full moon rate higher, and so does a period that lines up with sunrise, sunset or a turn of the tide.

Solunar times are a rule of thumb many anglers use, not a guarantee. Moving water around a tide change usually matters as much.

Heights are in feet above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero line on most US nautical charts. A minus height means the water drops below that line.

About the tides at Annapolis (US Naval Academy)
Annapolis (US Naval Academy) gets two high tides and two low tides most days, but one high is clearly higher than the other (and one low clearly lower), which is called a mixed tide. Over the next month the water typically rises or falls about 0.9 ft between a high and the next low.
The biggest swings in this window come around Wednesday, October 28, when the day's range reaches 1.6 ft, and again around Monday, November 9 (1.4 ft). Here the biggest ranges depend on the moon's phase and on how far north or south of the equator it is, so they don't always line up with the new and full moon. The calmest day is Thursday, October 22, with only 0.9 ft between the day's highest and lowest water.
The lowest tide of the month is 0.1 ft at 10:32 AM on Monday, November 9.
The highest predicted tide is 1.7 ft at 7:59 PM on Wednesday, October 28. Onshore wind or a storm can push the real water level above that.
This is a reference (harmonic) station: NOAA predicts its tides directly from years of measured water levels here, which makes it among the most reliable predictions on the coast.
