About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Back Creek entrance, Nantuxent Cove from the REEDY POINT station: high tides about 1.07× the height, 89 min earlier; low tides about 1.07× the height, 94 min earlier.
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.
