About the tides at Gloucester Point
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.4 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The average range is about 2.4 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.7 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.4 ft on September 30, and the lowest is −0.7 ft on January 23.
This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1950 to 2003 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Yorktown, 2 mi away. For tidal currents, see Gloucester Point, 150 yds. southeast of.
