At this time Fire Island inlet is in pretty bad shape. At low tide there is about 2.5' of water Dredging is not going to start until after the summer. If you are cruising or fishing out this inlet, pay very close attention.

Bummer - We use all the time - I guess time at high tide. How will the commercial fishing boats deal with this?

the markers are being moved now to navigate the safest passage. Right now the deepest water may be along the shore to the west, staying inside the breakers. Captree has also become very skinny

I love going to Democrat... but its just so damn narrow/tricky getting around Captree that i avoid going and just go somewhere else. Its a shame. The buoy's are zigzag around there its sometimes hard to believe they are accurate.

Will have to get an update for July! Is there an alternative way to get to Fire Island?
From the west come in Jones Inlet and follow the IC east, not too many 5 MPH areas and their are draw bridges (3) if you need them. Pleasant ride and plenty of anchorages along the way.
