About the tides at Matawan Creek

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.8 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Sandy Hook. The range is large, about 5.1 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is larger than most New Jersey stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 5.6 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 6.9 ft on August 2, and the lowest is −1.4 ft on January 23.

Matawan Creek is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sandy Hook: highs come about 1 min earlier and lows about 7 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1976 to 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Cheesequake Creek, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 10 min later. For tidal currents, see Keyport Channel entrance.

Predictions are based on Sandy Hook.
