About the tides at Menantico Creek entrance

Menantico Creek entrance 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 Lewes (Breakwater Harbor). On a typical day the water moves about 4.2 ft between high and low. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 5.4 ft, comes on Sunday, and the smallest, 3.4 ft, on October 17. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 6.1 ft on August 3 and bottom out at −1.1 ft on January 23.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Lewes (Breakwater Harbor), 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 Port Elizabeth, Manumuskin River, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 14 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Mauricetown Bridge, Maurice River.

Predictions are based on Lewes (Breakwater Harbor).
