About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Murderkill River entrance from the LEWES (BREAKWATER HARBOR) station: high tides about 1.25× the height, 39 min later; low tides about 0.94× the height, 71 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.
