About the tides at J.F.K. International Airport

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at N.y. International Airport, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Sandy Hook. With a mean range of about 5.0 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 7.3 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 3.6 ft, tomorrow. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 7.3 ft on August 2 and bottom out at −1.5 ft on January 23.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Sandy Hook, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Motts Basin, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 14 min later. For tidal currents, see Grass Hassock Channel.

Predictions are based on Sandy Hook.
