About the tides at Summit Bridge

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Delaware, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Reedy Point. The average range is about 3.4 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most Delaware stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on Saturday, with a range of 4.0 ft. Neap tides follow on October 18, when the range shrinks to 3.0 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 4.3 ft on August 2, and the lowest is −0.5 ft on January 24.

Summit Bridge is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Reedy Point: highs come about 28 min and lows about 52 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Chesapeake City, 4 mi away. For tidal currents, see Conrail Bridge, east of.

Predictions are based on Reedy Point.
