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 Wednesday, May 23, 2012.

Water quality samples were collected at all ocean and bay beaches on Monday. Bacteria results were above the standard at several beaches in Monmouth and Ocean Counties and resamples were collected yesterday. All beach resamples were below the standard and no further sampling is required. Beaches are not yet open for the season.

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

This information may also be accessed by calling: 1-800-648-SAND
