About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Main Marsh Thorofare from the Atlantic City (Ocean) station: high tides about 0.80× the height, 70 min later; low tides about 0.76× the height, 112 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.
