About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Fort Hamilton, The Narrows from the Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock station: high tides about the same height, 2 min later; low tides about the same height, 7 min later.
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.
