Marine Forecast Discussion

.MARINE...
Sub-SCA conditions tonight and Wednesday. Light snow is possible 
across the Delaware Bay and the Delaware coastal waters and perhaps 
into the southern NJ coastal waters too. Fair on Wednesday. 

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 Night through Friday...No marine headlines expected.

Friday Night through Saturday Night...Gale conditions expected with 
a chance (25-40%) of storm force wind gusts in the wake of a strong 
cold front. Freezing spray expected across all waters. 

Sunday...SCA conditions expected, lingering gale conditions possible 
(30-40%).

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 040234
OFFNT2

Offshore Waters Forecast
NWS Ocean Prediction Center Washington DC
934 PM 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.

934 PM EST Tue Feb 3 2026

.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...Weak high pressure will build E
over the waters tonight. A front develops off of the mid-
Atlantic coast tonight and low pressure develops along it late
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. Another cold
front will move offshore Fri night with explosive low development
along the Gulf Stream Sat into Sat night. The low will rapidly
deepen as it moves E of the area Sat night. High pressure will
build over the waters Sun and Sun 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.
