About the tides at Harlem River

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Randalls Island, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. On a typical day the water moves about 4.6 ft between high and low. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 5.0 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 5.9 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 4.0 ft, on Monday.

Predictions for Harlem River 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 1981 to 2014 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Hell Gate, 1.0 mi away, where high tide comes about 48 min later. For tidal currents, see Willis Ave. Bridge, 0.1 mile NW of.
