About the tides at Old Bridge

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at South River, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. With a mean range of about 5.6 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is larger than most New Jersey stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 6.1 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 7.6 ft, comes on October 9, and the smallest, 5.2 ft, on Friday.

Predictions for Old Bridge come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1975 to 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Sayreville, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 24 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Washington Canal, north entrance.
