About the tides at Ludlam Bay

Ludlam Bay has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at Atlantic City, Atlantic Ocean. The average range is about 3.9 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 4.5 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 5.5 ft. Neap tides follow tomorrow, when the range shrinks to 3.0 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 5.6 ft on August 2, and the lowest is −1.1 ft on January 23.

Ludlam Bay is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Atlantic City, Atlantic Ocean: highs come about 56 min and lows about 72 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here in 1978 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Townsend Sound, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 12 min later. For tidal currents, see Corson's Inlet Entrance.

Predictions are based on Atlantic City, Atlantic Ocean.
