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 average range is about 3.3 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 October 10, with a range of 4.0 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 3.3 ft.
Summit Bridge is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Chesapeake City, 4 mi away. For tidal currents, see Conrail Bridge, east of.
