About the tides at West Fire Island

West Fire Island has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at Sandy Hook. The mean range is small, about 0.6 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 0.8 ft on July 4, and the lowest is −0.2 ft on January 23.

West Fire Island is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sandy Hook: highs come about 130 min and lows about 138 min later than there. The nearest other station is Fire Island Light, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 24 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Fire I. Inlet, 0.5 mi. S of Oak Beach.

Predictions are based on Sandy Hook.
