About the tides at Dinner Point Creek
Dinner Point Creek has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at Sandy Hook. The mean range is small, about 1.8 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most New Jersey stations on this site. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.5 ft on August 2, and the lowest is −0.5 ft on January 23.
Dinner Point Creek is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sandy Hook: highs come about 161 min and lows about 197 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1976 to 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Cedar Run, 0.7 mi away, where high tide comes about 31 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Manahawkin Drawbridge.
Predictions are based on Sandy Hook.
