About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Shinnecock Bay entrance from the Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock station: high tides about 0.51× the height, 72 min later; low tides about 0.37× the height, 111 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.
