About the tides at Waackaack Creek

Waackaack Creek has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at Sandy Hook. On a typical day the water moves about 4.4 ft between high and low. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 6.3 ft on August 2 and bottom out at −1.3 ft on January 23.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Sandy Hook, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here from 1976 to 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Matawan Creek, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 5 min later. For tidal currents, see Keyport Channel entrance.

Predictions are based on Sandy Hook.
