About the tides at Flat Creek

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.1 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock. The mean range is small, about 0.8 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most New Jersey stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on Saturday, with a range of 1.1 ft. Neap tides follow on October 17, when the range shrinks to 0.6 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 1.1 ft on August 3, and the lowest is −0.2 ft on January 23.

Flat Creek is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock: highs come about 213 min and lows about 275 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1976 to 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Double Creek, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 30 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Manahawkin Drawbridge.

Predictions are based on Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock.
