About the tides at Rosedale Beach
Rosedale Beach has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. On a typical day the water moves about 2.8 ft between high and low. That is smaller than most Delaware stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.3 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.1 ft, comes on Sunday, and the smallest, 2.0 ft, on October 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 3.8 ft on August 2 and bottom out at −0.6 ft on January 23.
Predictions for Rosedale Beach come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Indian River Inlet (Coast Guard Station), 8 mi away, where high tide comes about 40 min earlier.
