.SYNOPSIS FOR THE TIDAL POTOMAC AND MD PORTION OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY...

Arctic high pressure will maintain control of the region the first

to lift away late this week; low pressure developing offshore could 
approach the region late in the week. Small Craft Advisories may 
need to be extended into Tuesday morning, and will likely be needed 
again late Tuesday night through midday Wednesday.

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 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 New England

FZNT21 KWBC 202102
OFFNT1

Offshore Waters Forecast
NWS Ocean Prediction Center Washington DC
402 PM EST Mon Jan 20 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.

ANZ898-210830-
402 PM EST Mon Jan 20 2025

.SYNOPSIS FOR NEW ENGLAND WATERS...Low pressure to the NE of the
region will pull a low pressure trough or cold front across the 
waters through early tonight and possible another trough over the
waters later Tue. Otherwise a strong high pressure ridge will 
build E toward the region later tonight, move offshore Tue, and 
then weaken over the waters Tue and Tue night. Low pressure will 
develop and pass S of the waters Tue night, strengthen to the SE 
and E of the waters Wed, and then move well E of the area Wed 
night and Thu while strengthening. High pressure will slowly 
build E over the region later Wed and Wed night, and then weaken 
while shifting E of the area Thu into Thu night. Yet another low 
will develop S of the waters Thu and Thu night while tracking NE 
towards Georges Bank. The low will pass just SE of the waters 
Fri, and move off to the E of the area Fri night as a high 
pressure ridge builds E towards the coast. Another low pressure 
will be developing to the S of the area late Fri night and is 
anticipated to stay to the SE of the area early Sat while 
strengthening and moving off to the NE Sat and Sat 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.
