Your One-Stop Resource for Striper Fishing and Saltwater Surf Fishing
Your Beach. Your Conditions. Your Next Cast.
Successful surf fishing starts with knowing what is happening along the beach. Water temperature, moving tides, wind, moon phase and seasonal fish movements can all influence where and when anglers choose to fish. Striper Tracker is a surf fishing app that brings these tools together in one place, built specifically for saltwater anglers fishing from the surf.
Whether you're following the fall striper migration or planning a trip to your local beach, start with the conditions that matter to your next cast.

For Massachusetts to New Jersey, the fall striper migration tracker has each town's conditions. For 42 beaches in Washington, Oregon and California, see West Coast surf fishing and the West Coast map.
Follow the Striped Bass Migration
The spring and fall movements of striped bass are among the most anticipated events in Northeast surf fishing. As a striped bass fishing app, Striper Tracker’s Fall Run Tracker helps beach anglers follow seasonal migration progress and estimated arrival windows along the coast. Check the broader outlook, then select your town to see its local conditions.
Check Ocean Water Temperatures
Oceanfront water temperature is one of the most useful pieces of context for planning a surf-fishing trip. Seasonal cooling and warming affect striped bass activity and the timing of other saltwater species along the beach. Striper Tracker keeps oceanfront conditions distinct from back-bay readings so beach anglers can focus on the water they actually fish.

Plan Around Tides and Moon Phases
Tidal movement can change current, bait movement and access to productive beach structure. Moon phases influence the timing and strength of tidal cycles, but the best fishing window still depends on the beach and the day's conditions. Use our moon-and-tides resource alongside your town's local tide information.

Understand Wind and Surf Conditions
Wind direction and speed can shape casting comfort, water clarity and how waves break along a particular stretch of shoreline. An onshore wind may produce very different conditions from an offshore wind, and the same forecast can fish differently from beach to beach. Check the local wind and wave information before deciding where to go.

More Than Striped Bass
Striped bass remain at the heart of Striper Tracker, but surf anglers also pursue bluefish, fluke, kingfish, black drum, tautog and other coastal species. The conditions that matter most can differ by species and season. Explore your town's available targeted-species information alongside the local conditions, rather than assuming a striped bass outlook applies equally to every fish.
