About the tides at Riggins Ditch, Heislerville
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. The average range is about 4.3 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 5.7 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 4.6 ft.
Riggins Ditch, Heislerville is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Riggins Ditch, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 7 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Maurice River entrance.
