About the tides at Marcus Hook
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.8 ft. With a mean range of about 5.6 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 6.2 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 7.1 ft on July 5 and bottom out at −0.6 ft on January 24.
A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It also reports water temperature and air pressure. It was established in 1981. The nearest other station is Bridgeport, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 14 min later. For tidal currents, see Marcus Hook Bar (north).
