Common Questions About Ocean Beach, NJ Tides

Collapse All
When is the lowest tide this week in Ocean Beach, NJ?

The lowest tide this week in Ocean Beach, NJ is 0.0 ft on Friday, Sep 25 at 5:56 am.

When is the highest tide this week in Ocean Beach, NJ?

The highest tide this week in Ocean Beach, NJ is 0.4 ft on Thursday, Sep 24 at 11:18 pm — worth noting for launching your boat and being alert for possible high tide flooding.

Is this week a spring tide or neap tide in Ocean Beach, NJ?

Ocean Beach, NJ is currently in a neap phase. Tonight's moon is 48% illuminated. Spring tides (largest swings) occur near new and full moons; neap tides (smallest swings) occur near first and third quarter moons. Tidal ranges this week are near their weekly minimum.

What datum are Ocean Beach, NJ tide heights measured from?

Tide heights on this page are measured from Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW), the U.S. NOAA standard. A height of 0 ft represents the 19-year average of each day's lower low tide. Negative values indicate a "minus tide" — water levels below that long-term reference.

What factors can affect the tide predictions for Ocean Beach, NJ?

Tide predictions for Ocean Beach, NJ come from NOAA's harmonic analysis and are typically accurate within about ±10 minutes on timing and ±0.5 ft on height. Actual water levels can deviate further due to sustained winds, atmospheric pressure changes, river flow, and storm surge. During major weather events, be sure to check US Harbors weather pages for factors that could impact tidal predictions.

Which NOAA station provides tide data for Ocean Beach, NJ?

Tide data for Ocean Beach, NJ is sourced from NOAA Station #8532885. View the official NOAA station page at https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/stationhome.html?id=8532885.

What time is high tide in Ocean Beach, NJ today?

High tides in Ocean Beach, NJ today: 5:45 am (0.3 ft), 6:08 pm (0.4 ft).

What time is low tide in Ocean Beach, NJ today?

Low tides in Ocean Beach, NJ today: 11:45 am (0.1 ft).

What is the tidal range in Ocean Beach, NJ today?

Today's tidal range in Ocean Beach, NJ is 0.3 ft — the difference between the day's highest and lowest water level. This month's average daily range is about 0.4 ft, so today's swing is typical.

What is the moon phase in Ocean Beach, NJ tonight?

Tonight the moon over Ocean Beach, NJ is First Quarter (48% illuminated). This places Ocean Beach, NJ in a neap tide cycle, so tidal ranges are near their weekly minimum this week.

What type of tides does Ocean Beach, NJ have — semi-diurnal, diurnal, or mixed?

Ocean Beach, NJ has mixed tides — two high tides and two low tides per day with noticeably different heights — common on the U.S. West Coast.

US Harbors Tidal Data

The data in our tide charts, tide tables, and tide graphs is provided by NOAA and others. These predictions are derived mathematically from numerous inputs, including data from historical tide stations and nearby locations where sensors are actively recording. As shown in the tide graph at the top of this page, “Predicted” tides (blue) are what forecasting models expect to happen. “Observed” tides (red) are those recorded by local sensors in real time, overlaid on the predictions for direct comparison. We display Observed water levels for a select group of harbors including Portland, Maine, where a physical sensor monitors water levels in real time.
