About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Middle Thorofare, Ocean Drive bridge from the Atlantic City (Ocean) station: high tides about 0.95× the height, 31 min later; low tides about 0.94× the height, 30 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.
