About the tides at Mill Basin

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Brooklyn, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Sandy Hook. The average range is about 5.0 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 7.2 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 4.0 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.

Mill Basin is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sandy Hook: 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.
