SURFACE-WATER RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD - October 2010 to current year.
GAGE - Water-stage recorder. Estuary elevation record is available in ft above NGVD of 1929 and ft above NAVD of 1988. To convert NGVD of 1929 elevation to NAVD of 1988 elevation, subtract 1.12 ft.
EXTREMES OUTSIDE PERIOD OF RECORD - Storm tide of Dec. 11, 1992, reached an elevation of 7.3 ft above NGVD of 1929 (6.18 ft above NAVD of 1988), from high-water mark at site 1.1 mi south-southwest.
EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - Maximum elevation, 10.89 ft above NGVD of 1929 (9.77 ft above NAVD of 1988), Oct. 29, 2012; minimum elevation, -5.95 ft above NGVD of 1929 (-7.07 ft above NAVD of 1988), Jan. 22, 2019.
