About the tides at Bridgeport

Bridgeport has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The pattern follows the reference station at Philadelphia (USCG Sta.), Delaware River. With a mean range of about 5.4 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is larger than most New Jersey stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 6.0 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 6.0 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 4.9 ft, on October 18. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 6.7 ft on August 3 and bottom out at −0.5 ft on January 25.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Philadelphia (USCG Sta.), Delaware River, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here from 1977 to 1978 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Marcus Hook, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 13 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Eddystone.

Predictions are based on Philadelphia (USCG Sta.), Delaware River.
