About the tides at North Branch

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at North Branch, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. 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. The next spring tides peak on October 10, with a range of 3.1 ft. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 2.2 ft.

North Branch is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Hainesport, 1 mi away. For tidal currents, see Edgewater Range at Devlin Range.
