About the tides at Poughkeepsie

Poughkeepsie has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The pattern follows the reference station at The Battery, New York Harbor. The average range is about 3.0 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most New York stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 4.3 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 2.2 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 4.2 ft on August 3, and the lowest is −0.9 ft on January 23.

Poughkeepsie is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting The Battery, New York Harbor: highs come about 274 min and lows about 286 min later than there. The nearest other station is Hyde Park, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 13 min later. For tidal currents, see Mid-Hudson Suspension Bridge.

Predictions are based on The Battery, New York Harbor.
