.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 to NE of Cape Hatteras 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
1057 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.

ANZ899-260215-
1057 AM EDT Fri Sep 25 2026

.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...Intensifying low pressure
centered about 200 nm E to NE of Cape Hatteras 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.
