About the tides at North Channel Bridge

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Grassy Bay, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The range is large, about 5.6 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 6.1 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 10, with a range of 7.0 ft. Neap tides follow on Saturday, when the range shrinks to 5.1 ft.

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 in 2015 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Canarsie, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 8 min later. For tidal currents, see Canarsie (midchannel), Jamaica Bay.
