About the tides at College Point

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.6 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at Kings Point. The range is large, about 6.8 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. The next spring tides peak on October 10, with a range of 9.0 ft. Neap tides follow on Saturday, when the range shrinks to 6.2 ft.

College Point is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Kings Point: highs come about 17 min and lows about 16 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here in 1981 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Hunts Point, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 5 min earlier. For tidal currents, see College Point Reef, 0.25 n.mi. NW of.

Predictions are based on Kings Point.
