About the tides at Raccoon Ditch

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Raccoon Ditch, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Reedy Point, C&d Canal. The average range is about 3.9 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 5.1 ft on August 3, and the lowest is −0.6 ft on January 24.

Raccoon Ditch is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Reedy Point, C&d Canal: highs come about 68 min and lows about 33 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here in 1978 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Stathems Neck, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 30 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Cohansey River, 0.5 mile above entrance.

Predictions are based on Reedy Point, C&d Canal.
