Weather

Our Weather Station is installed as far as possible from any building to get the best wind readings. It also captures rain fall and lightning strikes. See more details on the dedicated page.

Tides

It is essential to know the tides when sailing in the Great South Bay as it will determine where you can go based on the draft of your boat. Events and races at the Hempstead Bay Sailing Club are planned around NOAA tide predictions for the Parsonnage Cove station.

The widget below shows the tides for the next few days from TidesPro.
