About the tides at Queensboro Bridge
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.7 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. On a typical day the water moves about 4.3 ft between high and low. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 4.9 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 5.8 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 3.0 ft, on Tuesday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 5.6 ft on July 4 and bottom out at −1.0 ft on January 23.
Predictions for Queensboro Bridge come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1998 to 2001 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is East 41st Street, 1.0 mi away, where high tide comes about 26 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Roosevelt Is., west of, off 63rd Street.
