About the tides at Delaware City

Delaware City has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The range is large, about 5.1 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. The next spring tides peak on October 10, with a range of 6.2 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 5.1 ft.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. The nearest other station is Pea Patch Island, 0.8 mi away, where high tide comes about 6 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Bulkhead Shoal Channel, off Del. City.
