Best fishing times today

Fish feed on moving water, so the two hours either side of each tide change are the ones to plan around. Today’s changes are at 5:48 AM (high), 11:58 AM (low), 6:04 PM (high). Today’s solunar periods that land in those windows: major 9:51 AM–11:51 AM, near the 11:58 AM low; minor 4:12 AM–5:12 AM, near the 5:48 AM high; minor 4:27 PM–5:27 PM, near the 6:04 PM high. Solunar periods are worked out for these coordinates; how much they matter is open to question.

About these predictions

The times and heights on this page are NOAA’s predictions for station 8661437, Garden City Pier (ocean), 1.2 miles from Garden City. It is a reference station with its own harmonic constants. Heights are in feet above mean lower low water (MLLW), the datum on US charts; a negative height is a tide below that level. Predictions describe the astronomical tide and do not include wind, pressure or river flow. NOAA’s own table is here. Not for navigation.

Questions

When is high tide in Garden City today?

5:48 AM (5.6 ft) and 6:04 PM (5.5 ft), by NOAA's prediction for Garden City Pier (ocean). Low tide is at 11:58 AM (0.7 ft).

Where do these tide times come from?

From NOAA's tide predictions for station 8661437, Garden City Pier (ocean), 1.2 miles from Garden City. It is a reference station with its own harmonic constants. Heights are in feet above mean lower low water (MLLW), times in local time with daylight saving.

Are these tide times good for navigation?

No. They are predictions of the astronomical tide; wind, pressure and river flow can move the real water by a foot or more and shift the times. For navigation use NOAA’s own predictions and official charts, and look at the water.

What is the best time to fish the tide in Garden City?

Moving water usually fishes better than slack: the two hours either side of a change, and especially the first of the outgoing tide in estuaries and inlets. Below we mark today’s solunar periods that land in those windows; the report for the nearest water adds weather and pressure.

How this page was made. The daily report is computed by our scoring engine from live readings; nobody types it. The written text was drafted with AI assistance from the official pages listed above, and its facts were checked against those pages by automated verification on October 13, 2026; anything that could not be verified was taken out. Pablo Ruiz Quintero sets every guideline, the data-verification system and the minimum standards a page must meet to be published, reviews page structure and approves what goes live; the responsibility is his, and the AI carries out the work. We work this way because it is how one person can keep every page current with named sources. Errors are published in the verification log; the full policy is in the editorial policy.
