Spot Check

Spot Check replaces the drive up and down Ocean Avenue. Click anywhere on the water between Sandy Hook and Cape May Point and it pulls the conditions for that exact point: wave height, swell period, the direction both the swell and the wind are coming from, wind speed with gusts, how warm the water is and how warm the air is, the next tides, and where the five days after this one are heading.

Nothing is pre-set, so you are not limited to the well-known beaches. If your sandbar sits between two towns, or you would rather not say out loud where it is, click it directly and read the numbers for that spot alone.

Every figure comes from a free public source: the Open-Meteo marine and weather models, NOAA CO-OPS tide predictions, NDBC offshore buoys. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to pay.
