About the tides at Cornwells Heights
Cornwells Heights 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 6.7 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 7.8 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 6.5 ft, on Thursday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 8.7 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. The nearest other station is Burlington, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 7 min later. For tidal currents, see Edgewater Range at Devlin Range.
Predictions are based on Philadelphia (USCG Sta.), Delaware River.
