King tides at Toms River

The highest predicted waters at Toms River, through 2030. Every high tide reaching 7.00 ft above MLLW.

What counts as a king tide

There is no official definition. NOAA does not publish one, and the California King Tides Project simply means the highest predicted tides of the year. This page lists every predicted high water of 7.0 ft or more above MLLW, which on this stretch of coast picks out the handful of days each winter when the water comes up unusually far.

They happen when the moon is closest to Earth and new or full at the same time, with the Earth near its own closest approach to the sun. That alignment stacks the solar and lunar pulls together, and it lands in November, December and January far more often than not.

These are predictions of astronomical tide only. A winter storm arriving on a king tide is what causes flooding, because surge and wind can add a foot or more on top of the figures here.

What a king tide means at Toms River

The highest tides of the year put water over the bayside roads on Long Beach Island and through the marshes behind it. On a barrier island a few blocks wide, the flooding comes from the bay rather than the ocean.

Autumn is when they fall, which is also nor'easter season. The combination is what closes the causeway.
