We came through the inlet on Friday and all was well, don't think we saw any less than 9 feet under the boat.
Just figured some here would like to know this.

Brian,
Sorry I do not, the channel was well marked. Rob,JohnC,Dave and Mark were with me, maybe they can tell you more.

We did not take down the coordinates. the channel is farther east than last year and fairly close to the eastern shore. While there was plenty of water, i can see it being a problem on a snotty day.

I haven't been through on my boat yet so don't have updated coordinates. This is the report from Sea Tow which may have been posted before, might help explain the differences this year -
Fire Island Inlet has been remarked! Buoy numbers 1, 2, and 3 are at the same locations as last year. Red buoy #4 however is more east than last year and very close to the beach (only about 25 yards off). There is also a new Red buoy #4A that acts as a gate with Green Buoy #5. It is pretty narrow, (maybe 15 yards between #4A and #5) and #4A is just behind #4 and real close to the beach. So, on yo...ur way inside the inlet coming thru #4A and #5, leave the #6 buoy slightly to starboard then head about 25 yards to the west of buoy #6. Once you are passed the #6 buoy then dog leg to the east to get inside like always. Although things are a little tighter this year (between #4a and #5), it seems that the depths are greater in the channel. As long as you stay within the buoys you should not encounter depths of less than 8ft. As always, things can change over time (especially the location and size of sand bars), but as of 4/3/12 these are our observations. We will do our best to update Fire Island Inlet conditions as they change.

Andy,
No. They are like ski gates, go around the green, then around the red, etc. The closer the better!
