About the tides at Middle Thorofare

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 3.7 ft between high and low. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 4.8 ft, comes on October 10, and the smallest, 3.9 ft, on Sunday.

Middle Thorofare is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Strathmere, 1 mi away. For tidal currents, see Corson's Inlet Entrance.
