About the tides at Fire Island Light

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.1 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Sandy Hook. The mean range is small, about 0.7 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most New York stations on this site. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 1.0 ft on August 2, and the lowest is −0.2 ft on January 23.

Fire Island Light is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sandy Hook: highs come about 46 min and lows about 82 min later than there. The nearest other station is West Fire Island, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 24 m later. For tidal currents, see Fire I. Inlet, 0.5 mi. S of Oak Beach.

Predictions are based on Sandy Hook.
