About the tides at Sweetwater
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Mullica River Marina, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock. The average range is about 2.5 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most New Jersey stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on October 10, with a range of 3.3 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 2.5 ft.
Sweetwater is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock: highs come about 203 min and lows about 261 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here in 1978 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Green Bank, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 24 min earlier.
Predictions are based on Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock.
