About the tides at Sandy Hook

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.7 ft. On a typical day the water moves about 4.7 ft between high and low. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 5.2 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 6.4 ft on August 2 and bottom out at −1.3 ft on January 23.

A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 1910. The nearest other station is Atlantic Highlands, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 10 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Sandy Hook Chan., 0.4 mi. W of N. Tip.
