Pennsylvania tides: common questions

What time is high tide in Pennsylvania today?

High tide arrives at a different time at each station. Bridesburg, Philadelphia reaches 7.24 ft at 4:25 pm; Cornwells Heights reaches 8.15 ft at 4:52 pm; Edgely reaches 8.84 ft at 5:14 pm. The table above lists the next high and the next low for all 13 Pennsylvania stations.

Where is the biggest tidal range in Pennsylvania?

Edgely, where high and low water differ by 8.0 ft today. The smallest of the 13 Pennsylvania stations with a range today is Tinicum National Wildlife Refuge at 4.6 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 Pennsylvania today?

No Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania tides semidiurnal or diurnal?

Not all alike. 10 are semidiurnal and 3 are mixed 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 Pennsylvania tide predictions?

NOAA states roughly ten minutes on timing and half a foot on height for a reference station in ordinary weather. 5 of the 13 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.
