Fishing barometer

29.88 inHg ↗ Rising
  • Rising Very good — today Rising pressure after a low signals settling weather — fish feed confidently and this is often the best barometer window of all.
  • Stable Normal activity A steady barometer for a day or more means settled conditions and predictable, average feeding around tides and solunar peaks.
  • Falling Good at first A dropping barometer sparks a burst of feeding before the weather turns, then activity slows markedly as the front arrives.
min 29.85 inHg max 30.06 inHg Hover, tap or arrow-key the line to read any hour.

The barometer is rising, which usually switches feeding back on: fish sense settling conditions and move to feed with confidence. A rising trend after a spell of low pressure is one of the strongest signals to get out on the water.

Very high High Average Low

A larger coefficient means a wider gap between high and low water, so the strongest currents run along the sea bed. Tidal range also shifts with the weather — check the wind and swell before you head out.

Frequently asked questions

Tides, coefficients and fishing times for Alpine, N.J., explained.

What time is high tide in Alpine, N.J. today?

High water at Alpine, N.J. today is at 03:40 and 16:10. The full list of high and low tide times is in the table above and refreshes every day.

Is today a good day to fish in Alpine, N.J.?

Based on solunar theory the fishing rating today is Slow. The strongest windows are the major periods around the lunar transit, which often line up with sunrise and sunset.

What is the tidal coefficient and why does it matter?

The coefficient runs from 0 to 120 and measures the tidal range — today it is 40 (Low). Higher numbers mean stronger currents and a bigger gap between high and low water, which matters for fishing, diving and boating.

When are sunrise and sunset in Alpine, N.J. today?

The sun rises at 06:24 and sets at 19:24 local time, giving 13h 00m of daylight.
