| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | The combination of persistent northwest winds and spring tides following the new moon caused blowout tides on the tidal Delaware River and its tributaries and upper Delaware Bay with both low tide cycles on the 20th and in lower Delaware Bay and along the Atlantic coast with all four low tide cycles on the 20th and 21st. The lowest tide on the Delaware River and the upper Delaware Bay occurred during the morning low tide cycle on the 20th, while the lowest tide on lower Delaware Bay and along the ocean occurred during the late afternoon low tide cycle on the 20th. At Delaware City (New Castle County), the lowest tide was 2.58 feet below mean lower low water. At Reedy Point (New Castle County), the lowest tide was 2.43 feet below mean lower low water. At Ship John Shoal Light in upper Delaware Bay, the lowest tide was 2.32 feet below mean lower low water. At Brandywine Shoal Light in lower Delaware Bay, the lowest tide was 2.48 feet below mean lower low water and at Lewes (Sussex County), the lowest tide was 2.64 feet below mean lower low water. Blowout tide conditions start at 1.80 feet below mean lower low water. As the latest arctic high pressure system reached the coastal waters on the 21st, the offshore push of water ended and tides returned closer to the normal on the tidal Delaware River and upper Delaware Bay on the 21st and the lower Delaware Bay and the ocean side on the 22nd. |
