About the tides at Lake Montauk

Lake Montauk has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The average range is about 2.0 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most New York stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.5 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.9 ft on November 25, and the lowest is −0.3 ft on January 23.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1973 to 1999 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Montauk Harbor entrance, 0.1 mi away, where high tide comes about 12 min later. For tidal currents, see Shagwong Reef & Cerberus Shoal, between.
