.SYNOPSIS FOR NEW ENGLAND WATERS...Strong high pressure will
build S across the area tonight into Wed, while a stationary 
front persists S of the waters. The high will shift E Wed night.
Low pressure will develop along the stalled front S of the area 
Wed, then remain nearly stationary just S of the area Wed night 
through Thu while broadening and strengthening. The low will
drift N across the outer Mid-Atlantic waters Thu night and Fri,
then continue moving N into the area Fri night. The low will 
stall near Georges Bank Sat through Sun night while slowly 
weakening. Mariners should continue monitoring forecasts for the 
low pressure, and consider avoidance plans as needed. This will 
be a long duration event for the mid- Atlantic and New England 
coasts, impactful to the mariner.

Offshore Waters Forecast
NWS Ocean Prediction Center Washington DC
1028 PM EDT Tue Sep 22 2026

West central North Atlantic continental shelf and slope waters
beyond 60 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

ANZ899-240230-
1028 PM EDT Tue Sep 22 2026

.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A quasi-stationary front 
will remain in place oriented SW to NE across the waters tonight
through Thu night, while strong high pressure builds E from New 
England across the northern portions. Low pressure will develop
along the front just E of the S central waters late tonight into
Wed, then drift very slowly N Wed night through Fri night while
strengthening, reaching Georges Bank late Fri night. The low 
will pull a cold front through the southern waters. Strong 
counterflow to the Gulf Stream will create large, very steep, and
possibly breaking waves resulting in a particularly hazardous 
sea state. The low will move just N of the area early Sat, then
remain nearly stationary through Sun night, while high pressure 
builds SE across the S waters. Mariners should continue 
monitoring forecasts for the low pressure, and consider avoidance
plans as needed. This will be a long duration event, impactful 
to the mariner.
