About the tides at Port Reading

This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The range is large, about 5.3 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 5.9 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 7.0 ft on July 4, and the lowest is −1.2 ft on January 24.

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 2000 to 2001 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Rossville, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 8 min later. For tidal currents, see Tufts Point-Smoking Point.
