Marine Forecast Discussion

.MARINE...
No marine headlines are in effect through Tuesday morning.

Today, southerly winds 10 to 15 kts with seas around 4 ft in 
the morning but increase to around 5 feet, mainly off the coast 
of New Jersey. Small Craft Advisory in effect beginning at 2 PM 
EDT. Lower seas south of Cape May and sub-SCA winds in Delaware 
Bay will result in no headlines for those zones.

Tonight, seas continue to linger around 5 feet north of Cape May. 
SCA remains in effect through 5 AM Wednesday as a result. Otherwise, 
southwesterly 10-15 kts expected with gusts up to 20 knots. A few 
scattered showers (20-30% chance) possible, most likely off the 
central New Jersey coast.

Outlook...

Wednesday through Saturday...No marine headlines expected, however a 
brief period of SCA conditions may occur Thursday night ahead of a 
cold front. Showers likely with a chance of thunderstorms
possible.

Rip Currents...

On Tuesday, winds turn more southerly at 10 to 15 mph with breaking 
waves 2-4 feet. Powerful southeast swells continue with a 10 to 12 
second period clocking in around 3 to 4 feet. As a result, there is 
a HIGH risk for the development of dangerous and life threatening 
rip currents for the Jersey Shore and Delaware Beaches.

Conditions will be similar on Wednesday, though with more of a 
southerly flow, the threat for the development of dangerous and life 
threatening rip currents may be a bit less for Delaware Beaches. 
Currently expecting a HIGH risk for the development of dangerous and 
life threatening rip currents at the Jersey Shore and Delaware 
Beaches.

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.

.THURSDAY...Surf height 2 to 3 feet. Mostly sunny. A slight chance of
showers. Highs in the lower 80s. South winds around 10 mph. 
.FRIDAY...Surf height 2 to 3 feet. Partly sunny. Showers likely and a
chance of thunderstorms. Highs in the upper 70s. South winds around
10 mph. 
.SATURDAY...Surf height around 2 feet. Mostly cloudy. A chance of
showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms. Highs in the upper 70s.
Northeast winds around 5 mph. 
.REMARKS FOR EXTENDED...Surf Heights greater than 4 feet typically
result in dangerous breaking waves in the surf zone and potentially
a Moderate to High Rip Risk.

&&

Rip Current Risk Category
* Low Risk - The risk for rip currents is low, however,
life-threatening rip currents often occur in the vicinity of groins,
jetties, reefs, and piers.
* Moderate Risk - Life-threatening rip currents are possible in the
surf zone.
* High Risk - Life-threatening rip currents are likely in the surf
zone.

Latest Offshore Waters Forecast for New England

FZNT21 KWBC 230833
OFFNT1

Offshore Waters Forecast
NWS Ocean Prediction Center Washington DC
433 AM EDT Tue Sep 23 2025

New England continental shelf and slope waters from 25 nm
offshore to the Hague Line, except to 1000 fm south of New
England.

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.

433 AM EDT Tue Sep 23 2025

.SYNOPSIS FOR NEW ENGLAND WATERS...High pressure over the waters
will weaken and shift SE of the area today into tonight while a
cold front slowly moves SE across the region. Another high will 
build S into the area Wed before moving E of the waters Wed night
into Thu. A weak cold front will move along the New England 
coast Thu night and Fri, then slowly move into the area Fri night
into Sat. A stronger cold front will approach the coast Sat
night. Hurricane Gabrielle will remain well SE of the waters
today. For more information on Gabrielle please see the latest 
advisory from the National Hurricane Center. Long period south- 
easterly swells generated by Gabrielle will move across the 
waters through Wed.

from 1000 fm to 250 nm offshore.

Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average

.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A stationary front will meander
across the S waters today before dissipating tonight. High 
pressure across waters will move E of the area tonight into
Wed. A ridge will persist E of the waters through Sat, then will
weaken Sat night. A cold front will approach from the NW Wed,
move into the NW portions Wed night, then gradually dissipate
across the central waters Thu and Thu night. Another cold front 
will approach the coast late Fri, then move across the area Fri 
night into Sat, with another cold front nearing the coast Sat 
night. Hurricane Gabrielle will pass well E of the waters today.
For more information on Gabrielle please see the latest advisory
from the National Hurricane Center. Ongoing long period easterly
swells over the waters generated by Gabrielle, will continue 
across the waters through Wed.

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.
