About the tides at Tinicum National Wildlife Refuge, 8543024
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Tinicum 3, Darby Creek, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Philadelphia (USCG Sta.), Delaware River. The average range is about 4.5 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 4.9 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 4.9 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 4.1 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 5.5 ft on August 3, and the lowest is −0.4 ft on January 25.
Tinicum National Wildlife Refuge, 8543024 is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Philadelphia (USCG Sta.), Delaware River: highs come about 24 min earlier and lows about 27 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1977 to 1978 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Tinicum National Wildlife Refuge, 0.9 mi away. For tidal currents, see Mantua Creek Anchorage.
Predictions are based on Philadelphia (USCG Sta.), Delaware River.
