Marine Forecast Discussion

.MARINE...
Winds and seas are expected to remain below Craft Advisory levels 
through tonight. For Saturday, southerly winds increase with gusts 
up to 25 knots expected by late day into the evening. Seas will also 
be increasing to around 5 feet. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect 
for our coastal ocean zones that runs from 4 PM Saturday to 10 AM 
Sunday. 

Outlook... 

Monday...No marine hazards expected. Fair weather. 

Tuesday through Wednesday...Southwest winds increase and could reach 
Small Craft Advisory levels by late Tuesday into Wednesday. 

Rip Currents...

There is a MODERATE risk for the development of dangerous and 
life threatening rip currents for the Jersey Shore and Delware 
Beaches both Saturday and Sunday. 

On Saturday, south winds will increase to 15 to 20 mph with 25 
to 30 mph along with breaking waves of 2 to 3 feet with a 3 to 4
feet/9 to 10 period swell. There is still the potential for the
rip current risk to be upgraded to HIGH.

On Sunday, winds shift to more of a west to southwest flow at 
10 to 15 mph. There will continue to be breaking waves of 2 to 3
feet with a 3 to 4 feet/9 to 10 period swell.

Important to note that while surface temperatures inland will 
be in the low 80s on Saturday and in the upper 80s on Sunday, 
temperatures along the coasts will mainly be in the 70s due to 
ocean temperatures in the 50s. These cold water temperatures 
can quickly cause hypothermia and physical incapacitation to 
anyone suddenly immersed in the water.

Air temperatures will rise into the 70s and 80s across the Tri-
State area this weekend. However, water temperatures remain in the
lower 50s.

The cold water temperatures can quickly cause hypothermia and 
physical incapacitation to anyone suddenly immersed in the water. 
When the water temperature is below 60 degrees, the average 
submerged person could lose dexterity within minutes and be unable 
to accomplish simple tasks. Anyone going out on small boats, canoes 
or kayaks should plan accordingly and use extreme caution to avoid 
this threat.  

Several things to consider...

* Always wear a life jacket.

* Dress for the water temperatures, not air temperatures. Wear cold 
  water protection, like a wetsuit or drysuit.

* Carry an Emergency Position Indication Radio Device.

* File a float plan with someone you trust.

* Check the latest marine weather forecast, including water 
  temperatures at www.weather.gov/okx/marine before you go out on 
  the waters.

Your ability to survive cold water immersion depends on your ability 
to stay afloat and stay warm until help arrives.

Rip Current Risk Categories:

* Low Risk - Implies that wind and wave conditions do not support an
enhanced rip current risk. However, life-threatening rip currents are
always possible in the vicinity of groins, jetties, reefs, and piers.

* Moderate Risk - Life-threatening rip currents are possible in the
surf zone. Anyone planning to enter the surf should check with local
beach patrols first. Be sure to swim within sight of a life guard,
and never alone or at night.

* High Risk - Life-threatening rip currents are likely for all people
entering the surf zone. Anyone visiting the beaches should stay out
of the surf.

If you enter the surf zone, always have a flotation device with you
and swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current, relax and
float, and do not swim against the current. If able, swim in a
direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the
shore and yell or wave for help.

* Moderate Risk - Life-threatening rip currents are possible in the
surf zone. Anyone planning to enter the surf should check with local
beach patrols first. Be sure to swim within sight of a life guard,
and never alone or at night.

* High Risk - Life-threatening rip currents are likely for all people
entering the surf zone. Anyone visiting the beaches should stay out
of the surf.

If you enter the surf zone, always have a flotation device with you
and swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current, relax and
float, and do not swim against the current. If able, swim in a
direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the
shore and yell or wave for help.

Rip Current Risk

Rip Current Risk Definitions

Low Risk Surf zone conditions are not expected to support the development of life threatening rip currents. However, life threatening rip currents often occur in the vicinity of groins, jetties, reefs, and piers.
Moderate Risk Surf zone conditions are favorable for the development of life threatening rip currents.
High Risk Surf zone conditions will likely support the development of life threatening rip currents.

These models forecasts are produced by WFO Mount Holly, NJ, using the NWPS wave models and the Real Time Ocean Forecast System.


The NWPS output is used as guidance to produce WFO Mount Holly's marine forecasts. It is only experimental and it may differ from the official forecast.  For the official marine forecast  graphics go to:  WFO PHI Official Marine Forecast Graphics.

NWPS accounts for the following physics:

  • Wave propagation in time and space, shoaling, refraction due to current and depth, frequency shifting due to currents and non-stationary depth.
  • Wave generation by wind.
  • Three- and four-wave interactions.
  • Whitecapping, bottom friction and depth-induced breaking.
  • Dissipation.
  • Wave-induced set-up.
  • Propagation from laboratory up to global scales.
  • Transmission through and reflection (specular and diffuse) against obstacles.
  • Diffraction.

In here you will see 3-hourly forecast outputs for significant wave height, peak wave direction, peak wave period, and significant swell height (heights in feet and periods in seconds).  Our local version of NWPS also uses input from WAVEWATCH III for boundary conditions.

NOTE:  Significant Swell Height output from NWPS is the average height of the highest 1/3 of the group of waves with periods of 10 secs or longer.
