About the tides at Woodbury Creek
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Woodbury Creek, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Philadelphia (USCG Sta.), Delaware River. With a mean range of about 5.5 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is larger than most New Jersey stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 6.4 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 5.3 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 7.1 ft on August 3 and bottom out at −0.5 ft on January 25.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Philadelphia (USCG Sta.), Delaware River, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here from 1977 to 1978 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Penrose Avenue Bridge, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 9 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Hog Island, channel southeast of.
Predictions are based on Philadelphia (USCG Sta.), Delaware River.
