About the tides at Tuckahoe
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 3.4 ft between high and low. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.9 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 4.3 ft, comes on Monday, and the smallest, 3.0 ft, on October 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 5.0 ft on November 26 and bottom out at −0.3 ft on January 23.
Predictions for Tuckahoe come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here in 1979 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Cedar Swamp Creek, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 12 m later. For tidal currents, see Corson's Inlet Entrance.
