Delaware tides: common questions
What time is high tide in Delaware today?
High tide arrives at a different time at each station. Brandywine Shoal Light reaches 5.79 ft at 11:13 am; Delaware City reaches 6.4 ft at 1:45 pm; Delaware City Branch Channel bridge reaches 6.24 ft at 1:35 pm. The table above lists the next high and the next low for all 22 Delaware stations.
Where is the biggest tidal range in Delaware?
Woodland Beach, where high and low water differ by 6.2 ft today. The smallest of the 22 Delaware stations with a range today is Little Assawoman Bay at 0.9 ft. Range varies along a coast because the shape of a bay or estuary amplifies or damps the same ocean tide.
Is there a minus tide in Delaware today?
No Delaware station on this page drops below mean lower low water today. A minus tide is water below that datum, the zero point for US tide predictions, and it is what tidepoolers and clammers plan around. Each station page lists a month of predictions, so the next one is visible there.
Are Delaware tides semidiurnal or diurnal?
Not all alike. 21 are mixed semidiurnal and 1 is semidiurnal. Each station page classifies itself from its own predictions rather than from a regional rule, because the pattern changes along a single coast.
How accurate are these Delaware tide predictions?
NOAA states roughly ten minutes on timing and half a foot on height for a reference station in ordinary weather. 8 of the 22 stations here are reference stations; the rest are subordinate, with times and heights derived from one by a published offset, so expect a little more spread. Weather is the bigger factor either way. A storm surge or a strong onshore wind can raise real water well above the prediction, which is astronomy only.
