Delaware Tide Charts
Worldwide Tides

Broadkill Beach tides

Predicted from Lewes (Breakwater Harbor), NOAA station 8557380, 6 miles away. Delaware Bay funnels, so the tide grows as it goes: about four feet at Lewes, six by the middle bay, more again up the river. It matters here beyond the swimming. The horseshoe crabs spawn on the high tides around the new and full moons of May and June, and the shorebirds arrive to meet them. Heights in feet above MLLW. Also covers Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge and Beach Plum Island.

About Broadkill Beach

A quiet, residential bayfront community, Broadkill Beach is surrounded by natural beauty, covering the Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge and Beach Plum Island. The gentle shoreline is perfect for swimming in calm bay waters, launching kayaks, surf fishing for trout and flounder, and beachcombing for sea glass. Exploring the surrounding wetlands requires a solid understanding of the tides; kayakers launching into the prime hook marshes absolutely need an incoming high tide to navigate the shallow tidal creeks without getting hopelessly stuck in the thick estuarine mud.
