Solunar theory says fish feed more when the moon is overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 hours) and around moonrise and moonset (minor periods, about 1 hour). We score each day from 1 to 10 by checking when those periods happen, using the NOAA tide predictions for station 8532591 and the sun times for this spot:
| Base | every day starts at 1 | 1 |
|---|---|---|
| Sunrise / sunset | a period overlaps sunrise or sunset ±1 h: major +2, minor +1 (max 3) (Moonrise × sunrise +1; Moonset × sunset +1) | 2 |
| Tide | a NOAA high or low falls inside a period (tide change): major +2, minor +1; moving water during a major period (no high/low within 1 h of it) +1 (max 4) (Moonrise – tide change +1) | 1 |
| Moon phase | within 2 days of a new or full moon +2, within 4 days +1 (today: 0.4 days) | 2 |
| Today | 6, rounded | 6/10 |
1–3 poor · 4–5 fair · 6–7 good · 8–10 excellent. Solunar times are a rule of thumb, not a guarantee: weather, water temperature and bait matter a lot. Tide changes and moving water are specific to this station, so nearby spots can score differently.
Solunar periods calculated for 40.06, -74.05 (moon times from astronomical equations, local time). Not a fishing forecast.

Tide times and heights (ft, MLLW) are NOAA predictions for station 8532591; first light (civil dawn), sunrise, sunset and last light (civil dusk) are calculated for Mantoloking with the NOAA solar equations. Times are local.
Mantoloking has a semidiurnal tide: two high tides and two low tides of similar height each day. The average rise or fall between high and low tide is 3.9 ft, growing to about 5.2 ft at spring tides (around new and full moon) and shrinking to about 3.3 ft at neap tides (around the quarter moons). The highest tide predicted in the next 12 months is 5.5 ft on August 2, 2027 at 8:23 PM; the lowest is -1.3 ft on January 23, 2027 at 2:18 PM, and 206 low tides in that period drop below zero (MLLW).
Computed from 12 months of NOAA high/low predictions for station 8532591 (Manasquan Inlet, USCG Station); heights in feet above MLLW.

Mantoloking is a borough in Ocean County, New Jersey, on the Barnegat Peninsula just south of Bay Head.
NOAA's Manasquan Inlet station was chosen over the nearer Beaverdam Creek stations on the bay side, since beach tides follow the open coast.
On Mon, Nov 9, predicted high tide for Mantoloking (NOAA station Manasquan Inlet, USCG Station) is at 7:06 AM (4.9 ft), 7:27 PM (4.0 ft) local time.
On Mon, Nov 9, predicted low tide for Mantoloking is at 12:43 AM (0.2 ft), 1:23 PM (0.1 ft) local time.
On Tue, Nov 10, predicted high tides are at 7:43 AM (4.8 ft) and 8:07 PM (3.9 ft) for Mantoloking; low tides are at 1:22 AM (0.3 ft) and 2:04 PM (0.1 ft) (local time).
NOAA CO-OPS station 8532591 (Manasquan Inlet, USCG Station, NJ), a subordinate station (time and height offsets from a reference station), about 3.2 miles from the Mantoloking reference point. Heights are in feet above Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW).
On Mon, Nov 9, first light (civil dawn) is about 6:05 AM, sunrise 6:34 AM, sunset 4:44 PM and last light (civil dusk) 5:13 PM local time (calculated).
