Where Ventnor City, ocean pier is
Ventnor City, ocean pier sits at 39.3350° N, 74.4767° W on the Mid-Atlantic coast, at Ventnor City, NJ. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 1985 until 1992, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Atlantic City (Ocean) (NOAA 8534720), 3.5 mi away, and the tide here runs on nearly the same clock. The nearest weather station is Atlantic City, NJ, a shore station reporting wind and, at most sites, water temperature, 3.5 mi away.
The tide at Ventnor City, ocean pier
Ventnor City, ocean pier has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows a day of about the same size, roughly 12 hours 25 minutes apart. This month's predictions average 1.9 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 4.6 ft, and 4.0 ft between the average high and the average low, a moderate tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.4 ft and the lower low sits 0.2 ft below the other low. For the water around it: Mid-Atlantic tides are semidiurnal, two highs and two lows a day of about equal size, with ranges of 3 to 5 ft on the ocean and less inside the bays.
About this station
- High tide reaches Ventnor City, ocean pier about 12.3 hours after the moon passes overhead. That lag is local, which is why high water does not line up with the moon.
- Highest water on record: 8.6 ft on Sep 27, 1985.
- Lowest on record: -2.7 ft on Jan 10, 1986.
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 Ventnor City, ocean pier from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 4.6 ft above it and mean sea level 2.2 ft. The land survey datum NAVD88, the zero on topographic maps and flood maps, is 2.6 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 Lewes, DE gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8534770, established 1985, gauge removed 1992. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
