About the tides at West Creek, Route 47 bridge
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.5 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Lewes (Breakwater Harbor). The average range is about 2.2 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most New Jersey stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on Sunday, with a range of 2.8 ft. Neap tides follow on October 17, when the range shrinks to 1.8 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.2 ft on August 2, and the lowest is −0.6 ft on January 23.
West Creek, Route 47 bridge is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Lewes (Breakwater Harbor): highs come about 140 min and lows about 197 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here in 1978 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is East Creek, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 34 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Mauricetown Bridge, Maurice River.
Predictions are based on Lewes (Breakwater Harbor).
