Where New Rochelle is
New Rochelle sits at 40.8933° N, 73.7817° W on Long Island Sound, at New Rochelle, NY. The station here is a subordinate tide prediction point. NOAA has no gauge in the water at this spot; its times and heights are published as offsets from a reference gauge, named below. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Kings Point (NOAA 8516945), 5.8 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 17 min earlier than there. The nearest weather station is Kings Point, NY, a shore station reporting wind and, at most sites, water temperature, 5.8 mi away.
The tide at New Rochelle
New Rochelle 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 7.9 ft, and 7.3 ft between the average high and the average low, a large tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.4 ft and the lower low sits 0.3 ft below the other low. For the water around it: Sound tides are semidiurnal and grow from 2 to 3 ft at the eastern entrance to 7 ft or more at the western end.
About this station
- High tide reaches New Rochelle about 3.8 hours after the moon passes overhead. That lag is local, which is why high water does not line up with the moon.
- Highest water on record: 12.1 ft on Feb 19, 1972.
- Lowest on record: -4.4 ft on Feb 2, 1976.
- NOAA predicts tides here from Kings Point, station 8516945. High tide comes about 16 min earlier and low tide about 18 min earlier than there.
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 New Rochelle from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 7.9 ft above it and mean sea level 3.9 ft. The land survey datum NAVD88, the zero on topographic maps and flood maps, is 4.2 ft above MLLW here, so a water level on this page converts to NAVD88 by subtracting that amount. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Willets Point, NY gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8518490, established 1957, gauge removed 1995. The tide times and heights are published as time and height offsets from its reference gauge; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
