Silly question, but is low tide the better time to go to the beach in general? Will the waves be gentler then than during high tide? (Just remember I'm not really from Jersey, I grew up in Ohio with a mother that is afraid of water and then lived in arid, land locked Colorado.)

For a big GTG like Millie is organizing, low tide will generally be alot better, there will be a sand bar probably with a wading pool & the waves will be smaller; if you look at previous pictures when we had the group here, the newfs were running through the water on a sandbar (maybe Jessica can help me out with finding that posts). High tide, the beach will be smaller, bigger waves.Our start time of 9:30 am on that day will be optimum dead low.Tiki could care less, & that it why today he looks like a kennel dog, he blasted through the waves yesterday & got waffled by a rogue wave,(tide was higher, rougher) but this is what he enjoys! As long as we do not have a noreaster, will have have a fantastic day. More bulldozing was going on yesterday, the beach is super clean & flat in this area. We removed the remainder of the small debris for the final FEMA pickup.

Thanks for the info! We've only taken Suki to the beach twice. The first time was to a dog beach in a bay and she loved that. The second time was Sandy Hook and the waves were rough and she did not like that. But it was also later in the afternoon and maybe high tide? So maybe next time we try and take her, we'll try and time it with low tide.
Hope you guys have a great time and we can't wait until the next one when we can come!

Tides usually change every 6 hours, you can check your area on-line; in our area it will be calmer in the morning, the wind usually picks up in the early afternoon, right up till the end of June; In the summer, because of the heat we usually take him up early in the am, & maybe late at night if it cools down,after June it gets better in September, less crowds also. Because of Sandy, we are expecting less tourists this year; My beach house still has some open rental weeks available in July, June.

I wanted to too, but I'm sick...barely made it through work. I'm going to miss you all, but pictures would make me feel better.

Dawn, I thought you were coming, I didn't bring my camera; I'm just picking these photos off facebook, have not figured out how to post them, other than how I am doing it. :grrr:
