Offshore Waters Forecast
NWS Ocean Prediction Center Washington DC
424 PM EDT Thu Sep 24 2026

West central North Atlantic continental shelf and slope waters
beyond 60 nm to 250 nm offshore, including south of Georges Bank
from 1000 fm to 250 nm offshore.

Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average
height of the highest 1/3 of the waves. Individual waves may be
more than twice the significant wave height.

Locally higher winds and seas can be expected in and near tstms.

ANZ899-250800-
424 PM EDT Thu Sep 24 2026

.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...Broad low pressure just E of the
S and central waters will drift N and NE this evening into
tonight while strengthening, passing just N of the waters Sat.
The low will then meander just N of the area Sat night into Sun
night while weakening before finally moving off to the E and NE
Mon through Tue night. Strong counterflow to the Gulf Stream
will create large, very steep, and possibly breaking waves
resulting in a particularly hazardous sea state. A secondary cold
front will move offshore Sun night, stall across the area Mon
into Mon night, then dissipate Tue. Weak high pressure will build
over the area later Tue and Tue night. Mariners should continue
monitoring forecasts as the strengthening low pressure system
slowly crosses the region into the weekend, and consider
avoidance plans as needed. This will be a long duration event,
and highly impactful to the mariner.
