Current Beach Water Quality Conditions

This Web site provides information related to recreational beach water quality and public access locations. This "Current Conditions" web page is updated each weekday afternoon after coastal surveillance flight reports are filed and water quality results are received from the labs, and is updated on weekends as needed to reflect changing conditions.

Today is Tuesday, May 22, 2012.

Water quality samples were collected at all ocean and bay beaches yesterday. Bacteria results are above the standard at several beaches in Monmouth and Ocean Counties and are shown in red at the Beach Monitoring Results link below. Additionally, the Monmouth County Health Department has issued swimming advisories at the following beaches:

1st Avenue beach - Asbury Park

Ocean Park Avenue beach - Bradley Beach

Shark River Beach and Yacht Club - Neptune Township

Resamples were collected today and results will be available tomorrow. Beaches are not yet open for the season.

Today's coastal surveillance flight was canceled due to poor weather conditions.

For past results and more information on the coastal surveillance flight, see Beach Monitoring Results.
