About the tides at Indian River Inlet (Coast Guard Station)

Indian River Inlet (Coast Guard Station) has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. On a typical day the water moves about 2.5 ft between high and low. That is smaller than most Delaware stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.9 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 3.6 ft on October 28 and bottom out at −0.8 ft on January 23.

Predictions for Indian River Inlet (Coast Guard Station) come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1972 to 1986 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Rehoboth Beach, 8 mi away, where high tide comes about 50 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Delaware Bay Entrance Channel.
