About the tides at Dividing Creek entrance

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.1 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Lewes, Ft. Miles. With a mean range of about 5.2 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is larger than most New Jersey stations on this site. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 7.5 ft on August 2 and bottom out at −1.4 ft on January 23.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Lewes, Ft. Miles, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here in 1978 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Weir Creek bridge, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 9 m later. For tidal currents, see Maurice River entrance.

Predictions are based on Lewes, Ft. Miles.
