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.
