About the tides at South Amboy

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at South Amboy Raritan River, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Sandy Hook. The average range is about 4.9 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 6.9 ft on August 2, and the lowest is −1.5 ft on January 23.

South Amboy is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sandy Hook: highs come about 4 min earlier and lows about 8 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1976 to 1981 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Keasbey, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 17 min later. For tidal currents, see Raritan River Entrance, Victory Bridge.

Predictions are based on Sandy Hook.
