Tide FAQs

What is the best tide for beach activities in New Jersey?

Low tide is ideal for shell hunting, exploring tidal pools, and maximizing beach space. Mid-tide rising is best for swimming as currents are calmer. High tide is often best for fishing from shore and surfing at certain breaks.

How often do tides change at the Jersey Shore?

The Jersey Shore experiences semi-diurnal tides, meaning two high tides and two low tides approximately every 24 hours and 50 minutes. Each tide cycle takes about 6 hours and 12 minutes.

Where can I find accurate tide predictions for NJ beaches?

NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) provides official tide predictions for multiple stations along the Jersey Shore. Our tide charts use official NOAA CO-OPS data for accuracy.

What does MLLW mean in tide charts?

MLLW stands for Mean Lower Low Water, which is the average height of the lower of the two daily low tides. It is the standard reference datum for tide predictions in the United States.
