↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 2 min to low tide at 5:55 pm.
Tide coefficient 88 for the 11:06 am high tide and 85 for the 11:36 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 5.2 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: an average 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 (5.2 ft) and the lowest, on February 2 (-1.0 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 28 (coefficient 90, 5.2 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 40, 2.4 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Alpine station (NOAA), 1.5 mi from Yonkers. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the New York (The Battery) reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Yonkers
Sea state
The wave model doesn't reach Yonkers: it's on inland water (an estuary, sound or sheltered bay) or far from the open sea. Wind is still available right here.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

The moon in Yonkers
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
- 10:02–11:02 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:58–7:58 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.

Water depth
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 290 ft from shore.
From the shoreline (0.4 mi from Yonkers) out to sea, heading west.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep90 ft
- 33 ft deep290 ft
- 66 ft deepnot within 0.95 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 0.95 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 34 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. 33 ft deep 290 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 0.95 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 0.95 mi out. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
