When are the next spring tides on Long Island?

From October 26 to 28, after the new or full moon, with the moon near perigee, so they will be bigger than usual. At the Shinnecock Inlet station the coefficient will reach 92.

How many tides a day are there on Long Island?

The tide is semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height. Each high tide comes about 50 minutes later than the day before.

Why do some places on Long Island have no tide times?

3 of the 316 places have no tide station close enough, or in the same body of water, to give their times: the nearest one, Shinnecock Inlet, is 9.5 mi away on average. And we can't rely on the global tide model on this coast, so for now we don't show their tide. The sun, moon and spring tides on their pages are accurate.

In the middle of the area, the sun rises at 7:18 am and sets at 5:53 pm: 10 h 35 min of daylight. In Ditch Plains it rises 8 minutes earlier than in American Veterans Memorial Pier.
