About the tides at Woodbridge Creek
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.7 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock. With a mean range of about 5.2 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 5.7 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 6.6 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 3.6 ft, on October 18. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 7.0 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, Fort Hancock, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here from 1975 to 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Port Reading, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 6 min later. For tidal currents, see Tottenville, Arthur Kill River.
Predictions are based on Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock.
