About the tides at East Creek

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.8 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Lewes, Ft. Miles. On a typical day the water moves about 3.6 ft between high and low. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 5.3 ft, comes on October 28, and the smallest, 2.8 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 5.2 ft on August 2 and bottom out at −1.0 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 West Creek, Route 47 bridge, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 34 min later. For tidal currents, see Mauricetown Bridge, Maurice River.

Predictions are based on Lewes, Ft. Miles.
