About the tides at Norwood City
Norwood City 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.. With a mean range of about 5.8 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 6.4 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 6.4 ft, comes on Saturday, and the smallest, 5.2 ft, on October 18. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 7.2 ft on August 3 and bottom out at −0.5 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 1976 to 1978 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Tinicum National Wildlife Refuge, 0.7 mi away, where high tide comes about 20 min later. For tidal currents, see Crab Point, 0.5 mi East of.
Predictions are based on PHILADELPHIA, US Coast Guard Station, Pa..
