Orange: measured by NOAA's sensor, last 24 hours (6-minute data, preliminary). Dashed: predicted tide, through the next 24 hours. The prediction contains only the astronomical tide; wind, air pressure and river flow move the real water level away from it.
On Tuesday, October 27, high tide at Sassafras River, Betterton is at 10:32 AM (1.4 ft) and 10:42 PM (2.4 ft); low tide is at 4:48 AM (0.1 ft) and 4:06 PM (0.1 ft) (EDT, heights above MLLW). The table above lists the next 7 days.
The highest predicted tide in the next 12 months is 2.5 ft on November 25, 2026 at 9:23 PM. The largest tides fall a day or two after a full or new moon, especially when the Moon is closest to Earth.
No low tide below 0 ft (MLLW) is predicted at Sassafras River, Betterton in the next 12 months. The lowest is 0.0 ft on November 25, 2026 at 2:41 PM.
Station local time (EDT at the time this page was built), with daylight saving time applied where the area observes it — the same convention as NOAA's own tide tables.
From NOAA CO-OPS, the U.S. government tide station network (tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov); the predictions are public domain. The curve between highs and lows is our interpolation. This page is not for navigation.
