Wilmington tides

Predicted from Wilmington Marine Terminal, NOAA station 8550714, 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 Christina River, the Riverfront and Fort Christina.

About Wilmington

An urban waterfront experience blending industry, history, and recreation, Wilmington’s coastal zone encompasses the Christina River, the bustling Riverfront entertainment district, and Fort Christina. Activities revolve around strolling the developed riverwalk, dining at waterfront restaurants, and launching kayaks or crew boats into the river. Even in this urban environment, the river remains a tidal estuary; paddlers exploring the Christina River must consult the tide charts, utilizing the incoming tide to effortlessly push them upstream and ensuring high water covers the muddy, historic riverbanks.
