About the tides at Hackensack

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.0 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at The Battery, New York Harbor. With a mean range of about 6.0 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is larger than most New Jersey stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 6.6 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 8.3 ft on August 2 and bottom out at −1.9 ft on January 23.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at The Battery, New York Harbor, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here from 1976 to 1994 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Ridgefield Park, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 6 min earlier. For tidal currents, see George Washington Bridge.

Predictions are based on The Battery, New York Harbor.
