About the tides at Northport
Northport has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The range is large, about 7.3 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. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 7.8 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 9.8 ft. Neap tides follow tomorrow, when the range shrinks to 4.8 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 9.2 ft on September 2, and the lowest is −1.5 ft on January 23.
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 1990 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Lloyd Harbor, 4 mi away. For tidal currents, see Northport Bay, south of Duck I. Bluff.
