About tides at New York (The Battery), NY

The Battery gauge sits at the southern tip of Manhattan, where the Hudson meets the East River and the Atlantic tide pushes up through the Narrows. The pattern here is semidiurnal — two highs and two lows of roughly equal size each day, about six hours apart. Mean range is around 1.4 metres, climbing toward 1.7 metres on spring tides. Currents in the Upper Bay are stronger than the height swing suggests, especially through Hell Gate and the East River, where ebb and flood can run over four knots. For anyone walking Battery Park, kayaking from Pier 26, or planning a Staten Island Ferry crossing, the height curve matters less than the timing — slack water is the calmest window, roughly an hour either side of high or low. Predictions come from NOAA CO-OPS station 8518750. Surge from Atlantic storms — nor'easters in autumn and winter, hurricanes in late summer — can lift actual water levels well above predicted; the 2012 Sandy peak was 2.8 m above the predicted level. The forecasts on this page assume normal weather.

Common questions about tides at New York (The Battery), NY

When is the next high tide at The Battery?
The hero block above shows the next high tide at The Battery in local Eastern time, with the height above MLLW. Scroll down for the 7-day table covering both daily highs and lows. For storm surge or coastal flood watches, the National Weather Service New York office is the authoritative source.
What's the typical tide range at The Battery?
Mean range is about 1.4 metres at New York Harbor. Spring tides push to roughly 1.7 metres, neap tides drop to about 1.0 metre. The Battery sits inside the harbour, so the swing is gentler than open Atlantic shoreline like Sandy Hook. Wind from the east or south can push water levels noticeably higher than predicted, even in fair weather.
Why does the East River flow so fast?
The East River is a tidal strait, not a river. It connects Long Island Sound and New York Harbor, and the tide reaches each end at different times. The phase difference forces water through Hell Gate at currents that can exceed four knots. The strongest flow happens roughly midway between high and low tide at The Battery — slack water is around the actual high and low.
Where do these tide predictions come from?
NOAA CO-OPS station 8518750 (The Battery, NY). It's one of the longest continuous tide records in the US, dating back to 1856. NOAA uses harmonic analysis on the historical data to project future tides — a high-accuracy method that nails the astronomical component to within a few minutes and a few centimetres under normal conditions.
Is this safe to use for navigation?
No. For piloting in New York Harbor, use NOAA's official chart and current products and the latest USCG notices. Tide height and current at The Battery can shift significantly with weather and Hudson River discharge in ways harmonic prediction doesn't capture.
