Beach forecasts are updated weekly on Thursdays prior to an upcoming weekend throughout the summer months, from Memorial Day through Labor Day (seasonal)

Marine Forecast Discussion

Forecast: The forecast period begins with partly cloudy skies and warm and humid conditions on Friday. A cold front will approach Friday night leading to an increase in clouds, then scattered showers are likely Saturday as the front moves through, along with the chance for thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening. The 2nd half of the weekend and early next week are partly cloudy with near average temperatures, then the next cold front approaches Monday night and crosses on Tuesday with mostly cloudy skies and scattered showers and thunderstorms. A return to warmer temperatures and partly to mostly sunny skies in the wake of the front by Wednesday.

Tropical concerns: No tropical cyclone threats are forecast in the coming week. 

Marine: Seas currently feature approximately 3-4 ft. wave heights with a south-southeasterly swell, and a dominant period of 5-8 seconds. Wave heights will start the forecast period at 2-3 ft. levels Friday, then will increase Friday night as a cold front approaches the region, and then moves through on Saturday evening. Wave heights will likely remain at generally 3-5 ft. levels through midweek next week with another cold front expected Tuesday. Thunderstorms can provide localized rough boat and beach conditions higher than wave heights indicated, and you should monitor statements issued by the National Weather Service forecast office in Mount Holly, NJ for the latest marine advisories. At present time, thunderstorm chances will be highest Saturday afternoon/evening and again on Tuesday as fronts move through the area. Ocean water temperatures will continue to run near to slightly above seasonal average for this upcoming week in the lower to middle 60s.
