About the tides at Rossville
Rossville 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. With a mean range of about 5.0 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 6.7 ft, comes on October 10, and the smallest, 5.0 ft, on Saturday.
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. NOAA measured the tide here in 1980 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Port Reading, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 13 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Tufts Point-Smoking Point.
Predictions are based on Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock.
