628 FZNT22 KWBC 130839 OFFNT2 Offshore Waters Forecast NWS Ocean Prediction Center Washington DC 439 AM EDT Mon Oct 13 2025 West central North Atlantic continental shelf and slope waters beyond 20 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. ANZ899-132000- 439 AM EDT Mon Oct 13 2025 .SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A broad and complex coastal low will persist today. One low center will remain nearly stationary near the mouth of the Delaware Bay today. A trough extends south from that center to a second low center SE of Cape Fear. The southern low center will move quickly E across the southern waters today and tonight, while the northern center dissipates just inland later tonight into Tue. Later on Tue, a new low center will form over the outer Mid- Atlantic waters. Mariners should continue to monitor later forecasts on this coastal system as it will be highly impactful to the mariner through the middle of the week. The entire complex low will drift SE away from the waters Tue night through Wed night. High pressure will build S into the eastern U.S. Wed through Fri. On Thu, the broad low, still well E of the waters, will drift back W, leading to a strengthening pressure gradient, particularly over the outer northern waters. The low will finally move E away from the area Fri night as high pressure builds E offshore into the waters. $$ ANZ820-132000- Hudson Canyon to Baltimore Canyon to 1000 FM- 439 AM EDT Mon Oct 13 2025 ...GALE WARNING... .TODAY...E to NE winds 35 to 45 kt, becoming E 20 to 30 kt.
