About the tides at Babylon
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.1 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Sandy Hook. The mean range is small, about 0.6 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most New York stations on this site. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 0.8 ft on July 4, and the lowest is −0.2 ft on January 23.
Babylon is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sandy Hook: highs come about 131 min and lows about 161 min later than there. The nearest other station is Oak Beach, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 12 min later. For tidal currents, see Fire I. Inlet, 0.5 mi. S of Oak Beach.
Predictions are based on Sandy Hook.
