About the tides at Weir Creek bridge

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 pattern follows the reference station at Lewes, Ft. Miles. On a typical day the water moves about 2.7 ft between high and low. That is smaller than most New Jersey stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 4.0 ft, comes on October 28, and the smallest, 2.1 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 4.0 ft on August 2 and bottom out at −0.7 ft on January 23.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Lewes, Ft. Miles, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here from 1977 to 1978 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Hollywood Beach, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 2 h 39 m later. For tidal currents, see Maurice River entrance.

Predictions are based on Lewes, Ft. Miles.
