Marine Forecast Discussion

.MARINE...
Except to raising the SCA flag for the upper part of Delaware 
Bay, no changes to the marine flags this morning. Winds and seas
build today as South winds kick in ahead of the approaching 
disturbance. Fair weather today and showers expected tonight. 

Outlook...

Saturday...A Gale Watch remains in effect. A strong southerly 
flow ahead of an approaching cold front may produce localized 
gale force gusts, especially near the shoreline. However, the 
warm air advecting over the cold water may limit the ability for
gale force gusts to mix to the surface more than about 5 miles 
off the coast.

Saturday night...A Gale Watch remains in effect. A strong cold 
front is forecast to pass off the coast on Saturday evening. 
Robust cold advection in its wake will allow for increasingly 
efficient mixing of the atmosphere. As a result, there is a 
better potential for frequent gale force gusts on Saturday night
than on Saturday.

Sunday...Northwest wind 20 to 25 knots gradually diminishing to
10 to 15 knots.

Monday...Southerly wind increasing to around 15 knots with 
gusts near 25 knots.

Tuesday...No marine headlines are anticipated.

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.

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.
