It’s another beautiful, warm, sunny September morning here in Beach Haven! The wind is mild this morning coming from the SW at about 8mph but it is going to pick up as the day gets on. Currently the surf is moderate with 2-3 foot waves. You will need about 4-5oz to hold. Beach Haven water temp is 72.5°. The air temp is currently 73° and heading to 79°.
The bay is calm and 70.7°.
Low tide is at 12:37AM and 12:40PM. High tide is at 6:36AM and 6:52PM.
We have had a few kingfish weigh-ins here over the last couple of days for the 71st LBI Surf Classic! Joe Handley signed up for the Classic on Wednesday morning and was back with a kingfish weigh-in a little later that day – .78# and 12.75″. And yesterday we had Whitey and Eileen Roth both come in with his and hers kingfish. Whitey’s was .78# and 13 1/8″ and Eileen’s was .9# and 13.5″. Eileen used mullet and Whitey was bloodworm. Pat Gallen was on the surf yesterday too and racked up a kingfish, a spot, a short fluke and a small blue. So get out there on these beautiful days and fish!
