About the tides at East Rockaway Inlet
This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. On a typical day the water moves about 4.4 ft between high and low. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 4.9 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 6.1 ft, comes on Tuesday, and the smallest, 4.0 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 5.9 ft on July 4 and bottom out at −1.1 ft on January 23.
Predictions for East Rockaway Inlet come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here in 2014 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Motts Basin, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 45 min later. For tidal currents, see East Rockaway Inlet.
