About the tides at Bidwell Creek
This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. With a mean range of about 5.3 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is larger than most New Jersey stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 6.9 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 5.6 ft, on Sunday.
Bidwell Creek is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Bidwell Creek entrance, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 15 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Bay Shore Channel (north).
