About the tides at Double Creek

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Double Creek, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Sandy Hook. The mean range is small, about 0.3 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most New Jersey stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 0.4 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 0.2 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 0.4 ft on August 2, and the lowest is −0.1 ft on January 23.

Double Creek is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sandy Hook: highs come about 183 min and lows about 213 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1976 to 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Flat Creek, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 30 min later. For tidal currents, see Barnegat Inlet.

Predictions are based on Sandy Hook.
