About the tides at Motts Basin
This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The pattern follows the reference station at Sandy Hook. 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 York stations on this site. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 7.4 ft on August 2, and the lowest is −1.5 ft on January 23.
Motts Basin is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sandy Hook: highs come about 39 min and lows about 48 min later than there. The nearest other station is J.F.K. International Airport, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 14 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Grass Hassock Channel.
Predictions are based on Sandy Hook.
