White Water Marina

Coordinates: N 40° 44.970′, W 72° 59.860′ commonly referred to as White Water Marina), located at 300 Pine Neck Avenue, East Patchogue, NY Situated on the Swan River inlet, just off Patchogue Bay → Great South Bay. The approach follows the same buoyed channel used by Pine Neck and nearby marinas. Depth & Tidal Conditions Depth data isn't published for the marina itself, but the buoyed channel in Patchogue Bay typically maintains ~6 ft (MLLW). Nearshore and slips may taper toward 2–3 ft, similar to other Pocket marinas in the area Tidal range in the region is modest, with swings between 0.1–1.3 ft, depending on tide cycle . Current & Water Conditions Tidal currents are light and governed by the ebb/flood cycle—no strong flow even near high current. Because the inlet is partially protected, outside wind-driven chop (especially SW winds) is more relevant than current for navigation. Offers dockage for approximately 34 slips Slip depths likely 2–4 ft MLLW, based on typical pocket marina configurations. Facilities include inboard/outboard and propeller repair, engine service, storage and haul-out — but no fuel or pump-out Navigation & Safety Tips Follow the buoyed approach channel through Patchogue Bay, then turn into the Swan River inlet to reach the marina. Time your passage around high or slack tide to ensure sufficient depth at slipside. Enter slowly and stay mid-channel to avoid encountering shallower sections near banks. Keep speeds low in the inlet, as the area is narrow and prone to paddlecraft, anglers, or shallow obstructions. Monitor weather conditions—southwest winds can raise wakes or chop within the inlet. Recommendations Arrive/depart at high or slack tide for extra depth at slips (~1–1.5 ft added at high tide). Stay centerline and proceed at idle speeds once inside the inlet. Call ahead if you're concerned about draft—local dockmasters may provide current depth info. Be cautious of wind—even light breezes can create noticeable chop in tight waterways.
