About the tides at Mantua
Mantua 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, US Coast Guard Station, Pa.. On a typical day the water moves about 4.2 ft between high and low. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 4.7 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 4.7 ft, comes on Saturday, and the smallest, 3.9 ft, on October 18. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 5.2 ft on August 3 and bottom out at −0.4 ft on January 25.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at PHILADELPHIA, US Coast Guard Station, Pa., with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here from 1978 to 1981 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Paulsboro, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 58 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Mantua Creek US 44 Bridge Paulsboro.
Predictions are based on PHILADELPHIA, US Coast Guard Station, Pa..
