How the forecast works: we analyze how quickly customers are being restored, whether the outage is still growing, current weather, outage size, and similar past outages in this area. Every completed forecast is compared with when power actually returned. As of Aug 19, 7,878 completed outages have been graded this way — median error 2 hours across the most recent 600 of them (about 1.9 days), and we publish the misses.

How do I check the power outage status in Asbury Park, NJ?

This page is a live power outage status check for the Asbury Park area: current customers out, the affected areas on the map, and an independent restoration forecast when enough trend data is available, refreshed about every 15 minutes from utilities' own outage maps and the federal government's county outage data.

How do I report a power outage in Asbury Park, NJ?

Report it to your electric utility — crews are dispatched from customer reports. Utilities tracked in Monmouth County include JCP&L, PSE&G; confirm your own provider, then use its outage line or website. Reporting a downed line helps crews find the fault faster. In a life-threatening emergency, call 911.

Does this page show Asbury Park specifically, or the whole county?

Both, and for Asbury Park we have the city-level view: JCP&L has published outages for Asbury Park under its own name, most recently seen on 2026-08-17. When Asbury Park is affected, you get its own customers-out count and restoration time, with the Monmouth County county-wide total shown separately as context. Don't add the two together — the county figure already includes Asbury Park.

How accurate is the restoration estimate?

Every estimate is later graded against when the tracked outage was substantially restored (~90% of customers back), and the track record is published on our accuracy page. Estimates firm up a few hours into an outage once a steady restoration trend appears; very small outages are marked "too small to estimate" rather than guessed.
