About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Ludlam Bay, west side from the Atlantic City (Ocean) station: high tides about the same height, 56 min later; low tides about 0.94× the height, 72 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.
