This is a local South Australian term for a neap tide with minimal rise and fall over the course of a day or two. While very 'flat' neaps occur in a number of locations worldwide, the term 'Dodge' is used only in South Australia. At the time of neap tide when there is no rise or fall in water over the course of a day, the water still rises and cause small tide during the day, is then impossible to tell that what would be the particular period has presumably gained for it its name 'The Dodger'.
