Tides in Brooklyn
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 3:42 am -0.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 10:12 am 6.9 ft · coef. 87
- ▼ Low tide 4:30 pm -0.2 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 10:40 pm 5.5 ft · coef. 85
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 5 h 47 min to high tide at 10:40 pm.
Tide coefficient 87 for the 10:12 am high tide and 85 for the 10:40 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 7.1 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on June 14 (7.2 ft) and the lowest, on February 2 (-1.1 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
Heights above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero of US nautical charts. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. MLLW
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 27 (coefficient 90, 7.2 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 41, 3.5 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Mill Basin station (NOAA), 3.2 mi from Brooklyn. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Sandy Hook reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Brooklyn
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.5 ft
- Significant1.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 1.1 ft with a period of 4 s, from the south (smooth).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:20 am to 11:00 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:00 pm to 5:10 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak current.
Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,429 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:30–3:30 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:02–4:02 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:01–11:01 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:00–8:00 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity
According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.
