About the tides at Atlantic City (Ocean)

Atlantic City (Ocean) has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. On a typical day the water moves about 4.0 ft between high and low. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 4.6 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 5.7 ft on August 2 and bottom out at −1.1 ft on January 23.

A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It also reports water temperature and air pressure. It was established in 1911. The nearest other station is Absecon Channel, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 38 min later. For tidal currents, see Absecon Inlet.
