Where Patchogue is
Patchogue sits at 40.7504° N, 73.0178° W on the Mid-Atlantic coast, at Patchogue, NY. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 1989 until 1990, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Bridgeport (NOAA 8467150), 30.6 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 11 min earlier than there. The nearest weather station is Great South Bay, an offshore buoy reporting wind, waves and water temperature, 5.1 mi away.
The tide at Patchogue
Patchogue has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows a day of about the same size, roughly 12 hours 25 minutes apart. This month's predictions average 1.9 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 1.4 ft, and 1.1 ft between the average high and the average low, a small tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.2 ft and the lower low sits 0.1 ft below the other low. For the water around it: Mid-Atlantic tides are semidiurnal, two highs and two lows a day of about equal size, with ranges of 3 to 5 ft on the ocean and less inside the bays.
About this station
- High tide reaches Patchogue about 3.5 hours after the moon passes overhead. That lag is local, which is why high water does not line up with the moon.
- Highest water on record: 3.0 ft on Nov 16, 1989.
- Lowest on record: -1.3 ft on Feb 21, 1990.
Datum and source
Heights on this page are feet above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero NOAA's nautical charts use for soundings. A predicted 0.0 ft low is the average of the lower low each day; a minus tide is water below chart datum, and a 2 ft high means 2 ft more water than the chart shows. NOAA fixes MLLW at Patchogue from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 1.4 ft above it and mean sea level 0.7 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's The Battery, NY gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8514322, established 1989, gauge removed 1990. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.

TidalMapMonthly tide calendar
🌊 Biggest flood tides at Patchogue this month: Nov 8, Nov 9, Nov 10, Nov 23, Nov 24, Nov 25, Nov 26, Nov 27, Nov 28. These spring highs push water up into the grass and over the oyster rock; prime for poling into flooded marsh for tailing reds.
🔻 Negative (minus) low tides at Patchogue this month: Nov 25, Nov 26. These drain the flats and expose the oyster rock, prime for sight-fishing and clamming.
