About the tides at Fishing Creek entrance

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.6 ft. The range is large, about 5.2 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. The next spring tides peak on October 10, with a range of 6.2 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 5.0 ft.

Fishing Creek entrance is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Fortescue Creek, 2 mi away. For tidal currents, see False Egg Island Point, 2 miles off.
