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 251502
OFFNT2

Offshore Waters Forecast
NWS Ocean Prediction Center Washington DC
1102 AM EDT Tue Mar 25 2025

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.

ANZ899-260230-
1102 AM EDT Tue Mar 25 2025

.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A cold front will move across the
waters today. High pressure will build offshore later today, 
then shift E of the area tonight. Low pressure will develop off 
the Delmarva tonight, then track NE across the N portion Wed and 
Wed night while pulling a cold front SE across the central and S 
waters. High pressure will build to the coast Thu, settle 
offshore Thu night into Fri, then gradually shift E Fri night 
while maintaining a ridge across the S portion through Sat night.
A cold front will move into the N portions Fri night, then stall
off the mid-Atlantic coast 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.
