About the tides at Manahawkin Drawbridge

Manahawkin Drawbridge has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The pattern follows the reference station at Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock. The mean range is small, about 1.2 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 October 10, with a range of 1.6 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 1.2 ft.

Manahawkin Drawbridge is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock: highs come about 167 min and lows about 219 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1976 to 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Manahawkin Creek, 2 mi away. For tidal currents, see Manahawkin Drawbridge.

Predictions are based on Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock.
