About the tides at Leipsic

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. On a typical day the water moves about 3.4 ft between high and low. That is smaller than most Delaware stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 4.4 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 3.6 ft, on Sunday.

Leipsic is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Woodland Beach, 7 mi away, where high tide comes about 2 h 15 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Smyrna River entrance.
