About the tides at Market Street Bridge
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Market Street Bridge, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. With a mean range of about 5.7 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 6.6 ft, comes on October 10, and the smallest, 5.7 ft, on Sunday.
Market Street Bridge is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Philadelphia, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 34 min later. For tidal currents, see Philadelphia, Penns Landing.
