About the tides at Sayreville
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Raritan River, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. With a mean range of about 5.4 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is larger than most New Jersey stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 6.0 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 7.2 ft on September 30 and bottom out at −1.4 ft on January 23.
Predictions for Sayreville come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1976 to 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Keasbey, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 7 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Washington Canal, north entrance.
