About the tides at Princes Bay
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.7 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at Sandy Hook. The average range is about 4.7 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. The next spring tides peak on October 25, with a range of 6.1 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 3.3 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 6.7 ft on August 2, and the lowest is −1.4 ft on January 23.
Princes Bay is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sandy Hook: highs come about 0 min and lows about 6 min later than there. The nearest other station is Rossville, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 20 min later. For tidal currents, see Seguine Point.
Predictions are based on Sandy Hook.
