About the tides at Long Branch (fishing pier)
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.6 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at Sandy Hook. The average range is about 4.4 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 4.9 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 6.0 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 3.3 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 6.0 ft on August 2, and the lowest is −1.3 ft on January 23.
Long Branch (fishing pier) is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sandy Hook: highs come about 26 min and lows about 36 min earlier than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1977 to 1987 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Long Branch Reach, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 2 h 44 m later. For tidal currents, see Seabright Bridge, Shrewsbury River.
Predictions are based on Sandy Hook.
