About the tides at Murderkill River entrance

Murderkill River 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, Ft. Miles. The average range is about 4.9 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 7.0 ft on August 2, and the lowest is −1.0 ft on January 23.

Murderkill River entrance is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Lewes, Ft. Miles: highs come about 39 min and lows about 71 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1983 to 1985 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Mahon River entrance, 9 mi away, where high tide comes about 14 min later.
