Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock is a harmonic reference station on the New Jersey coast. NOAA computes predictions directly from decades of water-level observations here. Predictions on this page are astronomical — driven by the Moon and Sun — and do not include wind, pressure or storm surge. Where NOAA operates a live sensor, the water level reading shows the real tide right now, which is the best check on conditions.

When is the best time to visit the beach or tide pools at Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock?
Aim for the 90 minutes either side of a daylight low tide — the 'Beach · tide pools' window on this page. The lower the low, the more sand and rock is exposed; spring tides around new and full moon give the lowest lows.
How accurate are Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock tide predictions?
NOAA's astronomical predictions are typically within a few inches and minutes under normal weather. Strong wind, storm surge and river discharge can push the real water level above or below the prediction, so check the observed level where a live sensor exists.
What does MLLW mean?
Mean Lower Low Water is the average of the lower of the two daily low tides over a 19-year period. A reading of 0.0 ft is a normal low; negative values are unusually low tides.
