About the tides at Southold

Southold has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at New London, Thames River. The average range is about 2.1 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 3.4 ft. Neap tides follow tomorrow, when the range shrinks to 1.4 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.2 ft on July 3, and the lowest is −0.6 ft on January 23.

Southold is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting New London, Thames River: highs come about 104 min and lows about 93 min later than there. The nearest other station is Greenport, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 40 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Jennings Point, 0.2 mile Nnw of.

Predictions are based on New London, Thames River.
