About the tides at New Millford
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at New Milford, Hackensack River, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at The Battery, New York Harbor. On a typical day the water moves about 4.8 ft between high and low. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 5.1 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 6.4 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 3.3 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 6.3 ft on August 2 and bottom out at −1.4 ft on January 23.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at The Battery, New York Harbor, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here from 1976 to 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Hackensack, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 11 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Riverdale.
Predictions are based on The Battery, New York Harbor.
