About the tides at Little Assawoman Bay
Little Assawoman Bay has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The mean range is small, about 0.8 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Delaware stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.1 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 29, with a range of 1.0 ft. Neap tides follow on Friday, when the range shrinks to 0.7 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 1.4 ft on October 4, and the lowest is −0.4 ft on January 21.
This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. The nearest other station is Keydash, 8 mi away, where high tide comes about 4 h 46 m earlier.
