About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Democrat Point, Fire Island Inlet from the Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock station: high tides about 0.56× the height, 39 min earlier; low tides about 0.55× the height, 27 min earlier.
Barrier islands, big bays, and river tides: Chesapeake and Delaware bays carry the tide deep inland, and a nor'easter can hold water in, or blow it out, for days at a time.
