About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Wildwood Crest, Sunset Lake from the Atlantic City (Ocean) station: high tides about 1.10× the height, 52 min later; low tides about 1.06× the height, 47 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.
