About the tides at Taylors Bridge
Taylors Bridge 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 Reedy Point, C&d Canal. The average range is about 2.7 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 27, with a range of 3.3 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 2.5 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.6 ft on August 3, and the lowest is −0.5 ft on January 24.
Taylors Bridge is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Reedy Point, C&d Canal: highs come about 113 min and lows about 57 min later than there. The nearest other station is Artificial Island, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 2 h 28 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Appoquinimink River entrance.
Predictions are based on Reedy Point, C&d Canal.
