About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Long Branch (fishing pier) from the Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock station: high tides about 0.94× the height, 26 min earlier; low tides about the same height, 36 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.
