About the tides at Philadelphia

Philadelphia has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The range is large, about 6.2 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 6.8 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 7.8 ft on August 3, and the lowest is −0.4 ft on January 24.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1900 to 1989 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Philadelphia, US Coast Guard Station, Pa., 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 16 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Philadelphia, Penns Landing.
