About the tides at Bidwell Creek entrance

Bidwell Creek entrance has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The range is large, about 5.7 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. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 6.3 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 7.5 ft on July 4, and the lowest is −0.9 ft on January 24.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1977 to 1985 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Bidwell Creek, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 14 min later. For tidal currents, see Bay Shore Channel (north).
