About the tides at Canarsie

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.8 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at Sandy Hook. On a typical day the water moves about 4.9 ft between high and low. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 7.2 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 3.5 ft, tomorrow. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 7.1 ft on August 2 and bottom out at −1.5 ft on January 23.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Sandy Hook, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Mill Basin, 2 mi away. For tidal currents, see Canarsie (midchannel), Jamaica Bay.

Predictions are based on Sandy Hook.
