About the tides at 0.8 n.mi. above entrance
0.8 n.mi. above entrance has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The range is large, about 5.0 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is larger than most New Jersey stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on October 10, with a range of 6.0 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 4.8 ft.
0.8 n.mi. above entrance is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Abbots Meadow, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 23 min later. For tidal currents, see Alloway Creek ent., 0.2 mile above.
