New Castle tides

Predicted from New Castle, Delaware, NOAA station 8551201, 0 miles away. This is river rather than shore. The tide still reaches here, but it arrives late and small compared with the bay mouth, and how much the river is running can matter as much as the moon. Heights in feet above MLLW. Also covers Battery Park, the Strand and Delaware River.

About New Castle

Step back into colonial history at this beautifully preserved riverfront city, which covers Battery Park, the Strand, and the expansive Delaware River waterfront. The cobblestone streets give way to a coastal lifestyle focused on walking the paved riverfront promenades, picnicking in the park, historical sightseeing, and viewing massive passing cargo ships. The visual majesty of the waterfront is entirely tied to the tide; a high tide brings the Delaware River swelling right up against the historic seawalls of Battery Park, providing the most dramatic, photogenic views of passing ships.
