About the tides at Democrat Point

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Fire Island Inlet, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock. On a typical day the water moves about 2.5 ft between high and low. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.3 ft, comes on October 10, and the smallest, 2.5 ft, on Saturday.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Oak Beach, 0.5 mi away, where high tide comes about 3 h 2 m later. For tidal currents, see Fire I. Inlet, 0.5 mi. S of Oak Beach.

Predictions are based on Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock.
