Where Tacony-Palmyra Bridge is
Tacony-Palmyra Bridge sits at 40.0119° N, 75.0430° W on the Delaware Bay and River, at Palmyra, NJ, in Philadelphia County. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 2002 until 2013, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Bridesburg, Philadelphia, Pa. (NOAA 8546252), 2.9 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 12 min later than there. The nearest weather station is Bridesburg, PA, a shore station reporting wind and, at most sites, water temperature, 2.9 mi away.
The tide at Tacony-Palmyra Bridge
Tacony-Palmyra Bridge has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows a day of about the same size, roughly 12 hours 25 minutes apart. This month's predictions average 1.9 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 7.2 ft, and 6.6 ft between the average high and the average low, a large tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.4 ft and the lower low sits 0.2 ft below the other low. For the water around it: Delaware Bay tides are semidiurnal, two highs a day of 4 to 6 ft, and the tide keeps growing as it funnels upriver toward Philadelphia and Trenton.
About this station
- High tide reaches Tacony-Palmyra Bridge about 6.8 hours after the moon passes overhead. That lag is local, which is why high water does not line up with the moon.
- Highest water on record: 11.1 ft on Apr 17, 2011.
- Lowest on record: -3.5 ft on Mar 6, 2007.
Datum and source
Heights on this page are feet above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero NOAA's nautical charts use for soundings. A predicted 0.0 ft low is the average of the lower low each day; a minus tide is water below chart datum, and a 2 ft high means 2 ft more water than the chart shows. NOAA fixes MLLW at Tacony-Palmyra Bridge from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 7.1 ft above it and mean sea level 3.6 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Philadelphia, PA gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8538886, established 2002, gauge removed 2013. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
