About the tides at Belmar
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.6 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock. On a typical day the water moves about 4.3 ft between high and low. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 5.7 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 3.0 ft, on October 18. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 6.0 ft on August 2 and bottom out at −1.3 ft on January 23.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here from 1976 to 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Shark River Hills, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 22 min later. For tidal currents, see Shark River Entrance.
Predictions are based on Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock.
