Common Questions About Sheepshead Bay, NY Tides

Collapse All
When is the lowest tide this week in Sheepshead Bay, NY?

The lowest tide this week in Sheepshead Bay, NY is 0.6 ft on Wednesday, Sep 23 at 12:00 am.

When is the highest tide this week in Sheepshead Bay, NY?

The highest tide this week in Sheepshead Bay, NY is 5.2 ft on Wednesday, Sep 16 at 12:06 pm — worth noting for launching your boat and being alert for possible high tide flooding.

Is this week a spring tide or neap tide in Sheepshead Bay, NY?

Sheepshead Bay, NY is currently in a transitional phase. Tonight's moon is 30% illuminated. Spring tides (largest swings) occur near new and full moons; neap tides (smallest swings) occur near first and third quarter moons. Tidal ranges this week are shifting between spring and neap.

What datum are Sheepshead Bay, NY tide heights measured from?

Tide heights on this page are measured from Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW), the U.S. NOAA standard. A height of 0 ft represents the 19-year average of each day's lower low tide. Negative values indicate a "minus tide" — water levels below that long-term reference.

What factors can affect the tide predictions for Sheepshead Bay, NY?

Tide predictions for Sheepshead Bay, NY come from NOAA's harmonic analysis and are typically accurate within about ±10 minutes on timing and ±0.5 ft on height. Actual water levels can deviate further due to sustained winds, atmospheric pressure changes, river flow, and storm surge. During major weather events, be sure to check US Harbors weather pages for factors that could impact tidal predictions.

Which NOAA station provides tide data for Sheepshead Bay, NY?

Tide data for Sheepshead Bay, NY is sourced from NOAA Station #8517756. View the official NOAA station page at https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/stationhome.html?id=8517756.

What time is high tide in Sheepshead Bay, NY today?

High tides in Sheepshead Bay, NY today: 12:06 pm (5.2 ft).

What time is low tide in Sheepshead Bay, NY today?

Low tides in Sheepshead Bay, NY today: 5:41 am (0.7 ft), 6:19 pm (1.0 ft).

What is the tidal range in Sheepshead Bay, NY today?

Today's tidal range in Sheepshead Bay, NY is 4.5 ft — the difference between the day's highest and lowest water level. This month's average daily range is about 5.2 ft, so today's swing is below-average.

What is the moon phase in Sheepshead Bay, NY tonight?

Tonight the moon over Sheepshead Bay, NY is Waxing Crescent (30% illuminated). This places Sheepshead Bay, NY in a transitional tide cycle, so tidal ranges are shifting between spring and neap this week.

What type of tides does Sheepshead Bay, NY have — semi-diurnal, diurnal, or mixed?

Sheepshead Bay, NY has mixed tides — two high tides and two low tides per day with noticeably different heights — common on the U.S. West Coast.

US Harbors Tidal Data

The data in our tide charts, tide tables, and tide graphs is provided by NOAA and others. These predictions are derived mathematically from numerous inputs, including data from historical tide stations and nearby locations where sensors are actively recording. As shown in the tide graph at the top of this page, “Predicted” tides (blue) are what forecasting models expect to happen. “Observed” tides (red) are those recorded by local sensors in real time, overlaid on the predictions for direct comparison. We display Observed water levels for a select group of harbors including Portland, Maine, where a physical sensor monitors water levels in real time.
