Your day at a glance

The best window, 5:20 pm to 6:10 pm, combines the 5:08 pm low tide, sunset and a light onshore breeze. Also worth a try from 10:00 am to 11:00 am, with the 10:14 am high tide and moonset, though with rising pressure.

Species with the most records nearby: striped bass, bluefish, summer flounder and black sea bass. October is one of the months when these are seen most: bluefish and summer flounder. What you can catch

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 4:21 am -0.1 ft
  • ▲ High tide 10:14 am 5.8 ft · coef. 88
  • ▲ High tide 10:44 pm 4.6 ft · coef. 85

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 15 min to low tide at 5:08 pm.

Tide coefficient 88 for the 10:14 am high tide and 85 for the 10:44 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 6.0 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large 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, 6.0 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 40, 2.9 ft).

Where this tide comes from

A · Official station

Tides from the Weehawken station (NOAA), 0.3 mi from Weehawken. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the New York (The Battery) reference station with the official corrections.

Sea and waves

The sea at Weehawken

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 0.7 ft · 6.5 s from the east-southeast (119°)
Swell 0.7 ft · 5.9 s from the east-southeast
Current 0.3 mph toward the WNW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.4 ft
  • Significant0.7 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest1.5 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.5 ft.

On the coast 8 mph SSE · gusts 11
Offshore (19 mi S)Offshore 8 mph ESE · gusts 13

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:20 am to 11:30 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:20 pm to 5:40 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell, 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.

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:31–3:31 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:02–4:02 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:02–11:02 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:59–7:59 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.

Water depth

Deepens quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 0.3 mi from shore.

From the shoreline (0.25 mi from Weehawken) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1,300 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.3 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 1.2 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 1.2 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 0.3 mi from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. 33 ft deep 0.3 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 1.2 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.

Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 1.2 mi out. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
