442 AM EDT Fri Sep 25 2026

.SYNOPSIS FOR NEW ENGLAND WATERS...Strong high pressure centered
N of the area will drift off to the NW into Sat night, and the
slowly shift E early next week. Intensifying low pressure
centered about 200 nm E of Cape Hatteras early this morning will
track slowly to the N and NW today into Sat night while
approaching western Long Island or New Jersey Sat night, slow and
turn to the SW and S while weakening Sun, and then gradually 
turn more towards the E Sun night while passing just S of the 
waters. The weakening low is forecast to move NE over the region
Mon into Mon night, and gradually pass E of the waters Tue and
Tue night as high pressure builds E towards the coast. Mariners 
should continue monitoring forecasts, and consider avoidance 
plans as needed. This will be a long duration event, and highly 
impactful to the mariner into the weekend.

Offshore Waters Forecast
NWS Ocean Prediction Center Washington DC
454 AM EDT Fri Sep 25 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
more than twice the significant wave height.

Locally higher winds and seas can be expected in and near tstms.

ANZ899-252000-
454 AM EDT Fri Sep 25 2026

.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...Intensifying low pressure 
centered about 200 nm E of Cape Hatteras early this morning will 
track slowly to the N and NW today into Sat night while 
approaching western Long Island or New Jersey Sat night, slow and
turn to the SW and S while weakening Sun, and then gradually 
turn more towards the E Sun night while passing over the far N
waters. The weakening low is forecast to pass NE of the waters
Mon through Tue night and high pressure builds towards the
northern Mid-Atlantic coast. Strong counterflow to the Gulf 
Stream will create large, very steep, and possibly breaking waves
resulting in a particularly hazardous sea state. A secondary 
cold front will move offshore late Sun into Sun night, stall 
across the area Mon into Tue, then dissipate late Tue into Tue 
night. Mariners should continue monitoring forecasts as the 
intensifying low pressure system slowly crosses the region into 
the weekend, and consider avoidance plans as needed. This will be
a long duration event, and highly impactful to the mariner.
