🌤️ Weather Forecast – March 24, 2026 (1 PM)
📍 NYC & Fire Island
Today and tomorrow will be cool. By Thursday, it turns milder before cooler air begins returning Friday afternoon. Fire Island will remain noticeably cooler than the city due to the chilly ocean. The weekend looks nice, but still on the chilly side. We are in a typical up-and-down spring pattern, with unusual summer-like warmth remaining to our south.

Sayville Ferry

The Sayville Ferry began the Fire Island run in 1894. For over one hundred years, Fire Island - with its wide ocean beaches, natural forests, wetlands and lively downtowns - has been an attraction for people from all over the world. Fire Island's central communities of Cherry Grove, Fire Island Pines, Water Island and Sailors Haven/Sunken Forest, a Fire Island National Seashore Park, are served by the Sayville Ferry, which is located on River Road in the South Shore hamlet of Sayville. Once on the island, the only means of transport is a hand-pulled wagon and the only rubber you burn is the soles of your shoes.
