About the tides at Mill Basin

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Mill Basin, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock. The range is large, about 5.0 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. The next spring tides peak on October 10, with a range of 6.7 ft. Neap tides follow on Saturday, when the range shrinks to 5.0 ft.

Mill Basin is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock: highs come about 28 min and lows about 4 min later than there. The nearest other station is Plumb Beach Channel, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 26 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Canarsie (midchannel), Jamaica Bay.

Predictions are based on Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock.
