Offshore Waters Forecast
NWS Ocean Prediction Center Washington DC
446 PM EDT Wed Sep 23 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.

ANZ899-240830-
446 PM EDT Wed Sep 23 2026

.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A stationary front remains in
place oriented SW to NE across the waters tonight. Low pressure
just E of the S central waters will drift very slowly N tonight
through Fri night while strengthening, reaching Georges Bank late
Fri night. The low will pull a cold front through the southern
waters tonight and early Thu. Strong counterflow to the Gulf
Stream will create large, very steep, and possibly breaking waves
resulting in a particularly hazardous sea state. The low will
move just N of the area early Sat, remain nearly stationary
through Sun night, and then finally begin to move E Mon and Mon
night while high pressure builds SE across the S waters. Mariners
should continue monitoring forecasts for the low pressure, and
consider avoidance plans as needed. This will be a long duration
event, impactful to the mariner.
