About the tides at Great Kills Harbor
Great Kills Harbor has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The average range is about 4.9 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 5.5 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 10, with a range of 6.0 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 4.9 ft.
This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1979 to 2014 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Princes Bay, 4 mi away. For tidal currents, see New Dorp Beach, 1.2 miles south of.
