Where Beacon, Flushkill is
Beacon, Flushkill sits at 41.5000° N, 73.9833° W on New York Harbor and the Hudson River, at Beacon, NY, in Dutchess County. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 2014 until 2014, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Turkey Point, Hudson River (NOAA 8518962), 35.6 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 118 min earlier than there. The nearest weather station is Newburgh / Stewart, an airport reporting wind, visibility and sky cover, but no water temperature, 6.0 mi away.
The tide at Beacon, Flushkill
Beacon, Flushkill has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows a day of about the same size, roughly 12 hours 25 minutes apart. This month's predictions average 1.9 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 3.7 ft, and 3.1 ft between the average high and the average low, a moderate tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.3 ft and the lower low sits 0.2 ft below the other low. For the water around it: Harbor tides are semidiurnal, two highs a day near 4 to 5 ft, and the tide runs all the way up the Hudson to Troy.
About this station
- High tide reaches Beacon, Flushkill about 4.5 hours after the moon passes overhead. That lag is local, which is why high water does not line up with the moon.
Datum and source
Heights on this page are feet above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero NOAA's nautical charts use for soundings. A predicted 0.0 ft low is the average of the lower low each day; a minus tide is water below chart datum, and a 2 ft high means 2 ft more water than the chart shows. NOAA fixes MLLW at Beacon, Flushkill from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 3.7 ft above it and mean sea level 1.8 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's The Battery, NY gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8518934, established 2014, gauge removed 2014. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
