About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Absecon Channel, State Route 87 bridge from the Atlantic City (Ocean) station: high tides about 0.96× the height, 38 min later; low tides about 1.13× the height, 26 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.
