About the tides at Ship John Shoal

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.9 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. With a mean range of about 5.6 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 6.2 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 7.2 ft on August 2 and bottom out at −1.1 ft on January 24.

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 1997. The nearest other station is Woodland Beach, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 9 min later. For tidal currents, see Ben Davis Point, 3.2 nm southwest of.
