Datum and source
Heights on this page are feet above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero NOAA's nautical charts use for soundings. A predicted 0.0 ft low is the average of the lower low each day; a minus tide is water below chart datum, and a 2 ft high means 2 ft more water than the chart shows. NOAA fixes MLLW at Tuckerton, Shooting Thorofare, Little Egg Inlet from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 3.3 ft above it and mean sea level 1.6 ft. The land survey datum NAVD88, the zero on topographic maps and flood maps, is 1.8 ft above MLLW here, so a water level on this page converts to NAVD88 by subtracting that amount. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Atlantic City, NJ gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8534319, established 1976, gauge removed 2024. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
