About the tides at Oak Beach

Oak Beach 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. Water here rises and falls only about 0.7 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 0.9 ft, comes on October 10, and the smallest, 0.6 ft, on Sunday.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Democrat Point, 0.5 mi away, where high tide comes about 3 h 2 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Fire I. Inlet, 0.5 mi. S of Oak Beach.

Predictions are based on Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock.
