About the tides at Fire Island
Fire Island has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. Fire Island sees a mean range of about 24.0 ft. Low tide can expose a wide area, and the return is fast. That is larger than most Alaska stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 26.9 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 31.4 ft on September 2 and bottom out at −5.2 ft on July 5.
Predictions for Fire Island come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1978 to 2013 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Point Possession, 12 mi away, where high tide comes about 21 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Fire Island, 0.8nm north of.
