Discussion for Wakefield, VA
MARINE... As of 315 PM EDT Wednesday... Key Messages: - Generally benign marine weather expected through tonight. - Winds, waves and seas will increase and build for Thursday through the weekend. - Winds, waves, and seas will peak on Monday. 1023mb high pressure is centered in vicinity of the New England coast this aftn, and extends SW to the Mid-Atlantic coast. The wind is light and mainly E to NE less than 10kt. Seas are ~2ft, with ~1ft waves in the Ches. Bay. The wind becomes ENE ~10kt tonight. Seas remain ~2ft N and build to 2-3ft S, with waves in the lower Bay building to 1-2ft. High pressure strengthens off the New England coast Thursday into Friday, with another high building and strengthening into New England Saturday and Sunday. This will lead to a period of prolonged ENE flow with building seas/waves. Sub-SCA conditions are expected Thursday into Friday with seas building to 3- 4ft S. A NE wind will increase to 15-20kt with gusts to ~25kt for the ocean, lower Bay, lower James, and Currituck Sound Saturday and Sunday. Seas build this weekend to 3-5ft N and 4-6ft S, with 3-4ft waves in lower Ches. Bay. SCA conditions are increasingly likely this weekend. Strong high pressure to the N/NE of the local area will assist in keeping ENE flow. There is uncertainty on a surface low pressure building off the Carolina coast over the weekend and early next week. Depending on the strength and direction of this low pressure, the winds and waves may differ. The 12z GFS indicates the low pressure will remain to the south of the local area aiding in the ENE flow. This will allow waves in the bay to be between 1-3 ft with winds 15 to 20 kt, and seas in the ocean around 5 to 7 ft with winds 15 to 20 kt. Tuesday, the flow pattern continues with similar wind speeds and wave heights in both the bay and ocean. The wave heights on Wednesday will be between 1 to 2 ft in the bay and 4 to 6 ft in the ocean with wind speeds around 10 kt. A moderate rip current risk is forecast for Thursday and Friday with increasing onshore flow and building nearshore waves. There is a potential for a high rip current risk by this weekend, especially S.
