ConfidenceThe selected source is within 25 NM of the destination.
Nearest aviation candidates: KMJX 20.1 NM, KJFK 30 NM, KFRG 43.2 NM.
Hourly seas: NWS coastal marine-grid wave height is preferred when available. Gaps fall back to the latest NDBC wave observation projected with forecast wind; fallback values are planning estimates, not NOAA wave forecasts.
Wave character: Wave height and dominant period are combined to distinguish long-period swell from short or steep chop. The label explains comfort and handling; it is not a replacement for a vessel-specific stability assessment.
Current and water level: Current speed is shown only when a nearby NOAA current-prediction station returns usable data. Observed water level is compared with the same station's MLLW tide prediction; tide stage is not presented as measured current speed.
Verdict: Go, Caution, No-Go, or Incomplete uses your wind and sea limits, then applies official active-alert severity and identified wave/current compound risks.

Planning a boating day at North Atlantic Ocean
North Atlantic Ocean is a Northeast boating destination in New Jersey, with local wind, wave, tide, and aviation weather conditions from nearby reporting stations.
This named water in New Jersey uses New York Harbor Entrance (44065, 18.3 NM away) for marine observations, Sandy Hook (8531680, 17.5 NM away) for tide predictions, and Toms River/Miller (KMJX, 20.1 NM away) for nearby aviation weather context.
This location is part of Boat or Nope's reviewed launch catalog and remains subject to automated source-health checks.Nearby harbors
