Your day at a glance

The best window, 5:20 pm to 6:20 pm, combines the 6:17 pm low tide, sunset and some swell. Also worth a try from 10:00 am to 11:00 am, with the 10:56 am high tide, moonset, a light onshore breeze and some swell, though with rising pressure. Also good from 10:20 pm to 12:00 am, with the 11:24 pm high tide, a light onshore breeze and some swell.

Species with the most records nearby: winter flounder, summer flounder, scup and longfin inshore squid. October is one of the months when these are seen most: summer flounder and scup. What you can catch

  • ▲ High tide 11:24 pm 2.5 ft · coef. 85

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 19 min to low tide at 6:17 pm.

Tide coefficient 87 for the 10:56 am high tide and 85 for the 11:24 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 3.2 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a small range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on June 14 (3.3 ft) and the lowest, on February 2 (-0.4 ft).

Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

Heights above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero of US nautical charts. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. MLLW

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 27 (coefficient 90, 3.2 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 41, 1.8 ft).

Where this tide comes from

A · Official station

Tides from the Shinnecock Bay Entrance station (NOAA), 1.8 mi from East Quogue. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Sandy Hook reference station with the official corrections.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at East Quogue

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 2.0 ft · 7.9 s from the southeast (128°)
Swell 1.9 ft · 6.5 s from the southeast
Current 0.2 mph toward the WNW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.0 ft
  • Significant2.0 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest4.0 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.0 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 2 mph S · gusts 8

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Onshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.

Onshore Hourly wind →

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 2.4 ft with a period of 9 s, from the southeast (slight).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 7:00 am to 10:00 am, has a good size and light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm can also work, with glassy water, though with a short-period swell.

An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.

Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:40 am to 12:40 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:10 pm to 5:50 pm, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current.

Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:25–3:25 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:56–3:56 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:56–10:56 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:53–7:53 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity

According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.

Water depth

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: 0 ft at 0.7 mi.

From the shoreline (0.75 mi from East Quogue) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deepnot within 0.7 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 0.7 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 0.7 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 0.7 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 0.7 mi. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
  • Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
  • Diving. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 0.7 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.

There is little open water ahead: in a cove or small bay, cells of about 300 ft cannot show the bottom well near the rocks. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 0.7 mi out. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
