Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Next low tide 4:17 am 0.1 ft

- ▼ Low tide 5:08 pm 0.0 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 min to low tide at 4:17 am.
Tide coefficient 82 for the 10:25 am high tide and 79 for the 10:59 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 5.6 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: an average range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on June 14 (6.0 ft) and the lowest, on February 2 (-1.0 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
Heights above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero of US nautical charts. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. MLLW
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 90, 5.9 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 41, 2.9 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Shark River Hills station (NOAA), 2.4 mi from Asbury Park. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Sandy Hook reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Asbury Park
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.0 ft
- Significant2.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 3.1 ft with a period of 8 s, from the southeast (slight).
Water temperature

Surf in Asbury Park today
Surf today
Poor- 1.5–2.3 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 1.9 ft swell at 6 s from the east-southeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (4 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 10:25 am)
- Light: First light 6:54 am · sunrise 7:22 am · sunset 5:57 pm · last light 6:25 pm
- Tide: low 4:17 am (0.1 ft), high 10:25 am (5.6 ft), low 5:08 pm (-0.0 ft) and high 10:59 pm (4.4 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 61.0 °F–61.9 °F: a 4/3 fullsuit.
- Energy: 23 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell.
An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.
Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.
Diving in Asbury Park today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around high tide (10:25 am): little current from 9:50 am to 10:50 am
- 1.8 ft swell at 6 s from the east-southeast: some surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (6 mph)
- 0.2 mph current toward the south, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 4:17 am (3:50–4:40 am), high tide 10:25 am (9:50–10:50 am), low tide 5:08 pm (4:40–5:30 pm) and high tide 10:59 pm (10:20–11:30 pm)
- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 2.3 ft at 8 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 61.0–61.9 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:25 pm. Waning gibbous (84%), rising at 8:34 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:30 am to 11:40 am, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:20 pm to 5:50 pm, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current.
Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.

The moon in Asbury Park
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,746 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:35–4:35 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:07–5:07 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:10 am–12:10 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:04–9:04 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity
According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 700 ft): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. 33 ft deep 0.3 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (2.1 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
