About the tides at Edgemoor
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.6 ft. 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 10, and the smallest, 4.8 ft, on Sunday.
Edgemoor is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Wilmington Marine Terminal, 3 mi away. For tidal currents, see Edgemoor.
