- ▼ Low tide 6:40 pm 0.0 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 5 h 34 min to low tide at 5:49 am.
Tide coefficient 82 for the 11:56 am high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 2.8 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a small 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 (3.0 ft) and the lowest, on February 2 (-0.6 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 27 (coefficient 90, 3.0 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 41, 1.3 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Beach Haven Coast Guard Station station (NOAA), 1.0 mi from Beach Haven. 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 Beach Haven
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.0 ft
- Significant1.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
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
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Surf in Beach Haven today
Surf today
Poor- 1.1–1.8 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.6 ft swell at 5 s from the east-southeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (2 mph): glassy water
- Rising tide (high tide at 11:56 am)
- Light: First light 6:54 am · sunrise 7:22 am · sunset 5:59 pm · last light 6:26 pm
- Tide: low 5:49 am (0.0 ft), high 11:56 am (2.7 ft) and low 6:40 pm (-0.0 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 60.1 °F–61.0 °F: a 4/3 fullsuit.
- Energy: 10 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm can also work, though with a short-period swell and onshore wind.
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.

- Night dive: dark from 6:26 pm. Waning gibbous (84%), rising at 8:38 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:20 am to 1:20 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 7:20 am to 8:40 am, with little swell, light wind and weak current, though with tidal 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.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,746 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:36–4:36 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:08–5:08 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:09 am–12:09 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:08–9:08 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 800 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1.3 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
