About the tides at Edgemoor

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.6 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at Reedy Point, C&d Canal. With a mean range of about 5.1 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 27, and the smallest, 4.6 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 6.8 ft on August 3 and bottom out at −1.0 ft on January 24.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Reedy Point, C&d Canal, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here in 1984 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Wilmington Marine Terminal, 3 mi away. For tidal currents, see Edgemoor.

Predictions are based on Reedy Point, C&d Canal.
