About the tides at College Point
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.5 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at Kings Point, Long Island Sound. The range is large, about 6.8 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is larger than most New York stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 9.5 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 4.9 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 8.9 ft on September 30, and the lowest is −1.7 ft on January 23.
College Point is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Kings Point, Long Island Sound: 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, Long Island Sound.
