About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Menantico Creek entrance from the LEWES (BREAKWATER HARBOR) station: high tides about 1.10× the height, 186 min later; low tides about 1.10× the height, 189 min later.

Barrier islands, big bays, and river tides: Chesapeake and Delaware bays carry the tide deep inland, and a nor'easter can hold water in, or blow it out, for days at a time.
