About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Swain Channel, Taylor Sound from the Atlantic City (Ocean) station: high tides about 1.09× the height, 55 min later; low tides about 1.06× the height, 40 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.
