Current / slack water information ???
 

Hey guys - first time posting here - I was hoping you could help me find some info.

My local newspaper, Newsday here in NY, stopped printing the current information i.e. slack water at high tide, that I have learned to depend on for fishing and surfing.

Any idea where I can get this info for my inlet, Fire Island Inlet, Long Island ? I have looked on the 'net and cannot find anything ?!

I used to be able to plan my fishing to the minute based on this info. When I contacted the newspaper, they just said, they had to cut it out for more advertising space ! #@$%^ !!!!

Thx.

Thx guys,

I am working on asking the paper - the holiday weekend through off speaking to him.

And thx for the website - I actually found that one already - used it to plan for this weekend. I want one that shows me weekly or even monthly current info - I used to get weekly info in the paper ( this allowed me to know when it was absolutely necessary to blow off work to fish or surf [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] )

The local tackle shops sometimes carry tide charts for the season or whole year, ask around.-PF

I saw the tide tables listed in Newsday on wednesday, 1st page of the sports section.

You saw an abridged version; it showed only 2-3 days worth of high and low tide. It used to show tides AND the current ( slack water ) for a week. The current info is what I need. Tidal info is easily accessable.
