About the tides at Williamsburg Bridge
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.6 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The average range is about 4.2 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 4.7 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 5.5 ft. Neap tides follow tomorrow, when the range shrinks to 3.1 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 5.5 ft on July 4, and the lowest is −1.0 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 from 1999 to 2000 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Wallabout Bay, 0.5 mi away, where high tide comes about 27 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Corlears Hook.
