About the tides at Kearny Point
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.7 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at NEW YORK (The Battery). The range is large, about 5.2 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is larger than most New Jersey stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 5.8 ft. The next spring tides peak on Saturday, with a range of 6.8 ft. Neap tides follow on October 17, when the range shrinks to 3.6 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 7.1 ft on August 2, and the lowest is −1.5 ft on January 23.
Kearny Point is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting NEW YORK (The Battery): highs come about 11 min and lows about 22 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1976 to 1994 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Point No Point, 0.7 mi away, where high tide comes about 11 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Lincoln Highway Bridge, Hackensack River.
Predictions are based on NEW YORK (The Battery).
