About the tides at Capers Creek

This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The average range is about 4.8 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 5.3 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 6.8 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 3.4 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 6.4 ft on October 1, and the lowest is −1.4 ft on January 23.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1975 to 2008 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is North Dewees Island, 0.5 mi away. For tidal currents, see Horlbeck Creek, 0.2 mile above entrance.
