About the tides at 2.5 n.mi. above entrance
2.5 n.mi. above entrance has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The pattern follows the reference station at Reedy Point. The average range is about 4.6 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. The next spring tides peak on Saturday, with a range of 5.5 ft. Neap tides follow on October 17, when the range shrinks to 4.2 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 6.0 ft on August 3, and the lowest is −0.7 ft on January 24.
2.5 n.mi. above entrance is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Reedy Point: highs come about 51 min and lows about 15 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1977 to 1979 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Abbots Meadow, 0.7 mi away, where high tide comes about 7 min earlier. For tidal currents, see New Bridge, Alloway Creek.
Predictions are based on Reedy Point.
