About the tides at Hell Gate

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. The range is large, about 5.8 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is larger than most New York stations on this site. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 8.3 ft on August 2, and the lowest is −2.1 ft on January 23.

Hell Gate is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting The Battery, New York Harbor: highs come about 178 min and lows about 225 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here in 1981 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Harlem River, 1.0 mi away, where high tide comes about 50 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Off Winthrop Ave., Astoria.

Predictions are based on The Battery, New York Harbor.
