Marine Forecast Discussion

.MARINE...
Sub-SCA conditions expected through Tuesday night.

Regarding the river ice threat...Ice has formed across area bay 
waters and inland estuaries. This includes, but is not limited to 
the Delaware estuary. On rivers, the ice has grown in thickness 
enough to start causing restrictions in flow. An example of this can 
be seen at the Trenton River gauge. Per satellite imagery, the 
Delaware River is pretty much ice covered from just south of Trenton 
upstream to about Washington Crossing.

The most common ways river ice can break up is either through a 
thermal or mechanical means. We would like to see temperatures rise 
into the 40s for a few days, but that's not expected this week into 
the weekend. Rainfall, producing river rises, can also break up ice. 
But again, that's not in the forecast either this coming week. 

As a result, we expect the ice we're seeing to expand before it 
contracts. Even though there may be a pause in the growth during the 
daylight hours this coming week, temperatures at night will support 
expansion.

Outlook...

Wednesday through Friday...No marine headlines expected. Winds 
mainly remain less than 20 kt with seas around 2-3 feet. Periods of 
light snow possible on Friday, otherwise fair weather expected.

Friday night through Saturday...Gale force conditions probable with 
seas up to 8 feet. Freezing spray likely.

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.

For UV Index definitions plus more on rip current and beach safety,

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.

Latest Offshore Waters Forecast for the Mid-Atlantic

FZNT22 KWBC 030913
OFFNT2

Offshore Waters Forecast
NWS Ocean Prediction Center Washington DC
413 AM EST Tue Feb 3 2026

West central North Atlantic continental shelf and slope waters
beyond 20 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...Weak high pressure will build E
over the waters today. A front develops off of the mid- Atlantic
coast tonight and low pressure develops along it late tonight and
Wed. As high pressure builds E over the N waters, a cold front 
associated with the low moves slowly S over the S waters through 
Thu with another low developing along the front off of the SE 
U.S. coast. The low moves well off into the North Atlantic by 
Fri. Weak high pressure will build over the entire area late 
Fri, then a strong cold front approaches from the NW Fri night. 
The front moves into the waters by Sat as low pressure develops 
along the front off of the mid- Atlantic coast Fri night, 
broadening and intensifying well offshore Sat and Sat night. 
Mariners should monitor later forecasts especially for next 
weekend.

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.
