About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Wilmington Marine Terminal from the REEDY POINT station: high tides about the same height, 50 min later; low tides about 1.11× the height, 66 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.
