About the tides at Canton

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Stow Creek,delaware Bay, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Reedy Point, C&d Canal. The average range is about 4.1 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 5.3 ft on August 3, and the lowest is −0.7 ft on January 24.

Canton is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Reedy Point, C&d Canal: highs come about 96 min and lows about 45 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1977 to 1978 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Raccoon Ditch, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 28 min earlier. For tidal currents, see New Bridge, Alloway Creek.

Predictions are based on Reedy Point, C&d Canal.
