About the tides at Burlington

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Delaware River, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The range is large, about 7.3 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is larger than most New Jersey stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 7.9 ft. The next spring tides peak on Saturday, with a range of 7.9 ft. Neap tides follow on October 19, when the range shrinks to 6.5 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 8.6 ft on June 6, and the lowest is −0.5 ft on January 25.

Delaware River is a NOAA water level station with a live gauge, updated every 6 minutes. Predictions come from the station's own tide records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 1977. The nearest other station is Assiscunk Creek, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 7 min later. For tidal currents, see Edgewater Range at Devlin Range.
