About the tides at North Branch
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at rancocas Ck, Del B, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Philadelphia (USCG Sta.), Delaware River. The average range is about 2.7 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most New Jersey stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 3.1 ft. Neap tides follow on October 20, when the range shrinks to 2.2 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.5 ft on August 3, and the lowest is −0.3 ft on January 26.
North Branch is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Philadelphia (USCG Sta.), Delaware River: highs come about 178 min and lows about 209 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1977 to 1980 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Hainesport, 1 mi away. For tidal currents, see Edgewater Range at Devlin Range.
Predictions are based on Philadelphia (USCG Sta.), Delaware River.
