Marine Forecast Discussion

.MARINE...
Southerly winds will be gusty, to 20 knots, through Wednesday, 
however a hot air mass over the chilly ocean water is resulting 
in a very strong inversion just about the surface. This is 
limiting the vertical mixing. While seas in the southerly flow 
could build to 5 feet through Wednesday, it is very marginal and
therefore the Small Craft Advisory was cancelled. There is the 
potential for isolated gusty thunderstorms late Wednesday 
afternoon and especially Wednesday evening.

Outlook... 

Thursday...The conditions are anticipated to be below Small Craft 
Advisory criteria. 

Friday and Saturday...Small Craft Advisory conditions should occur.

Sunday...Seas may linger around 5 feet, otherwise the conditions 
should be below Small Craft Advisory criteria.

Rip Currents...

On Wednesday, south to southwest winds will range from 10 to 15
mph with gusts up to 20 mph. There will be a southeast swell 
with a period around 6 seconds. As a result, there is a MODERATE
risk for the development of dangerous rip currents for the 
Jersey Shore and a LOW risk for Delaware Beaches.

On Thursday, winds become northeast 10 to 15 mph at the Jersey
Shore in Monmouth County, and 15 to 20 mph at the rest of the
Jersey Shore and at Delaware Beaches. There will be a southerly
swell with a period around 6 seconds. Breaking waves will be 1
to 3 feet. As a result, there is a LOW risk for the development
of dangerous and life threatening rip currents at the Jersey
Shore in Monmouth County and a MODERATE risk for the rest of the
Jersey Shore and Delaware Beaches.

Surface temperatures inland will be in the 90s again on 
Wednesday, temperatures along the coasts will mainly be in the 
70s to near 80 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.

...Cold Water Safety Concerns Today...

Air temperatures will rise into the 80s and in some cases around
90 across the Tri- State area today. However, water temperatures 
remain in the 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.

New England continental shelf and slope waters from 60 nm

England.

Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average

Offshore Waters Forecast
NWS Ocean Prediction Center Washington DC
1048 PM EDT Tue May 19 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.

.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A high pressure ridge will
persist across the S and central waters tonight through Sun
night. A cold front will move SE and reach the far NW waters Wed
night, move through the N waters Thu, then stall over the central
waters Thu night through Fri. The front will very slowly drift N
as a warm front Sat through Sun night.

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.
