About the tides at Coates Point

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Coates Point, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock. Water here rises and falls only about 0.4 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most New Jersey stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 0.5 ft, comes on October 10, and the smallest, 0.4 ft, on Sunday.

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 Goose Creek entrance, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 6 min later. For tidal currents, see Point Pleasant Canal, north bridge.

Predictions are based on Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock.
