About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Norton Point, Gravesend Bay from the Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock station: high tides about the same height, 1 min earlier; low tides about 1.15× the height, 3 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.
