About the tides at Long Branch Reach
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Long Branch, Inside, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Sandy Hook. The average range is about 2.6 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most New Jersey stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.0 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 3.6 ft. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 1.4 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.6 ft on August 2, and the lowest is −0.8 ft on January 23.
Long Branch Reach is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sandy Hook: highs come about 138 min and lows about 161 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1976 to 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Gooseneck Point, 1 mi away. For tidal currents, see Seabright Bridge, Shrewsbury River.
Predictions are based on Sandy Hook.
