About the tides at Tinicum National Wildlife Refuge

Tinicum National Wildlife Refuge 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 5.2 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. The next spring tides peak on October 10, with a range of 6.0 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 5.1 ft.

Tinicum National Wildlife Refuge is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Norwood City, 0.7 mi away, where high tide comes about 20 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Crab Point, 0.5 mi East of.
