About the tides at Ponquoque Point
Ponquoque Point has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The average range is about 2.8 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most New York stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.2 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 4.1 ft. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 2.0 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 4.0 ft on July 4, and the lowest is −0.7 ft on January 23.
This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1989 to 2014 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Shinnecock Inlet (ocean), 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 8 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Ponquogue bridge, Shinnecock Bay.
