About the tides at Delaware City Branch Channel bridge

Delaware City Branch Channel bridge has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. With a mean range of about 5.2 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 6.2 ft, comes on October 10, and the smallest, 5.1 ft, on Sunday.

Delaware City Branch Channel bridge is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Delaware City, 0.8 mi away, where high tide comes about 9 min later. For tidal currents, see Bulkhead Shoal Channel, SE, Del. City.
