About the tides at Garden City Pier (ocean)

Garden City Pier (ocean) has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. With a mean range of about 5.0 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 5.6 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 7.0 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 3.4 ft, on Sunday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 6.8 ft on October 27 and bottom out at −1.1 ft on January 23.

Predictions for Garden City Pier (ocean) come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1974 to 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Garden City Bridge, 0.4 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 10 m later.
