About the tides at Island Beach

This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The pattern follows the reference station at Sandy Hook. Water here rises and falls only about 0.4 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most New Jersey stations on this site. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 0.5 ft on July 4 and bottom out at −0.1 ft on January 23.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Sandy Hook, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here from 1976 to 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Stouts Creek, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 19 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Barnegat Inlet.

Predictions are based on Sandy Hook.
