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 8532337 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) (Moon overhead × sunset +2) | 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) (Moon underfoot – tide change +2; Moon overhead – tide change +2) | 4 |
| Moon phase | within 2 days of a new or full moon +2, within 4 days +1 (today: 4.4 days) | 0 |
| Today | 7, rounded | 7/10 |
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 40.15, -74.03 (moon times from astronomical equations, local time). Not a fishing forecast.

Tide times and heights (ft, MLLW) are NOAA predictions for station 8532337; first light (civil dawn), sunrise, sunset and last light (civil dusk) are calculated for Spring Lake with the NOAA solar equations. Times are local.
Spring Lake 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 4.3 ft, growing to about 5.7 ft at spring tides (around new and full moon) and shrinking to about 3.7 ft at neap tides (around the quarter moons). The highest tide predicted in the next 12 months is 6.0 ft on August 2, 2027 at 8:00 PM; the lowest is -1.3 ft on January 23, 2027 at 1:57 PM, and 206 low tides in that period drop below zero (MLLW).
Computed from 12 months of NOAA high/low predictions for station 8532337 (Belmar, Atlantic Ocean); heights in feet above MLLW.

Spring Lake is a borough in Monmouth County, New Jersey, on the Jersey Shore along the Atlantic coast.
NOAA's Belmar, Atlantic Ocean station was chosen over nearer Shark River stations, since beach tides follow the open coast.
On Fri, Nov 13, predicted high tide for Spring Lake (NOAA station Belmar, Atlantic Ocean) is at 9:17 AM (4.6 ft), 9:56 PM (3.7 ft) local time.
On Fri, Nov 13, predicted low tide for Spring Lake is at 2:53 AM (0.8 ft), 3:40 PM (0.6 ft) local time.
On Sat, Nov 14, predicted high tides are at 10:02 AM (4.4 ft) and 10:48 PM (3.6 ft) for Spring Lake; low tides are at 3:29 AM (1.0 ft) and 4:21 PM (0.8 ft) (local time).
NOAA CO-OPS station 8532337 (Belmar, Atlantic Ocean, NJ), a subordinate station (time and height offsets from a reference station), about 2.4 miles from the Spring Lake reference point. Heights are in feet above Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW).
On Fri, Nov 13, first light (civil dawn) is about 6:10 AM, sunrise 6:39 AM, sunset 4:40 PM and last light (civil dusk) 5:10 PM local time (calculated).
