About the tides at Fort Hamilton

Fort Hamilton has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The pattern follows the reference station at Sandy Hook. The average range is about 4.5 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 6.5 ft. Neap tides follow tomorrow, when the range shrinks to 3.2 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 6.4 ft on August 2, and the lowest is −1.3 ft on January 23.

Fort Hamilton is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sandy Hook: highs come about 2 min and lows about 7 min later than there. The nearest other station is USCG Station Ny, 1 mi away. For tidal currents, see The Narrows.

Predictions are based on Sandy Hook.
