About the tides at Glen Cove
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.5 ft. With a mean range of about 7.3 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is larger than most New York stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 7.9 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 9.4 ft on September 2 and bottom out at −1.7 ft on January 23.
Predictions for Glen Cove come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here in 1990 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Harry Tappen Marina, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 7 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Hempstead Harbor, 0.3 mile north of.
