Marine Forecast Discussion

.MARINE...Monday night through Friday...No marine headlines are expected.
Fair weather expected through Wednesday night with a chance for
thunderstorms on Thursday into Thursday night. Fair weather is 
expected to return on Friday.Sub Small Craft Advisory 
conditions over the waters through tonight. Expect seas 
generally around 3 to 4 feet with gusts up to 20 kts.

Outlook...

Tuesday-Friday...Conditions expected to remain below Small Craft 
Advisory levels.  However, winds will gust around 20 knots at times 
and seas could rise to 4 feet at times.

Rip Currents...

A prolonged period of NE to E winds at 10 to 15 mph during the 
day and 5 to 10 mph at night will continue through today. Along
with 3 to 4 ft seas, this will result in a MODERATE risk for 
the development of dangerous and life threatening rip currents 
today at New Jersey and Delaware beaches. The rip current risk 
may be low for most of the day for southern New Jersey beaches.

By Tuesday, the winds will be veering to more of a southerly 
direction at 10 to 15 mph which will reduce the onshore 
component at most beaches. However we'll also be heading closer 
to the Full Moon on the 23rd so for this reason expect that most
of our beaches will continue to see a MODERATE risk for the 
development of dangerous rip currents.

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.

Offshore Waters Forecast
NWS Ocean Prediction Center Washington DC
1024 PM EDT Sun May 19 2024

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.

1024 PM EDT Sun May 19 2024

.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...Broad low pressure system just E
of the northern waters, centered about 325 nm SE of Nantucket, 
will remain nearly stationary early tonight. The low will move 
slowly E away from the area later tonight through Mon night. A 
cold front extending E across the waters from off of the Georgia
coast will move slowly S tonight through Mon, as a series of 
weak low pressure centers form and move E along the boundary. The
front will pass S of the area Mon night and Tue while high 
pressure builds S into the northern waters. The high pressure 
ridge will slowly drift S Tue night through Thu while weakening, 
and then will shift S of the waters Thu night where it will 
persist through Fri night. A cold front will approach the 
northern Mid-Atlantic coast Thu night and Fri, and then move SE 
into the northern waters Fri 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.
