About the tides at Paulsboro
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Mantua Creek, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The range is large, about 5.6 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 6.2 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 7.3 ft on June 6, and the lowest is −1.0 ft on January 23.
This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1977 to 1981 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Billingsport, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 14 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Mantua Creek US 44 Bridge Paulsboro.
