Latest Marine Discussion:

.MARINE... Generally light west to southwest winds are expected through today, becoming northwest tonight through Saturday. There is a potential of at least brief near SCA conditions behind a cold front tonight into Saturday morning, though the threat has decreased somewhat. Ahead of this front, potential showers and thunderstorms bring a risk of lightning and strong winds to the waters on this afternoon/evening. This will likely support the need of Special Marine Warnings, with 50+ knot winds possible in any storms. SCAs will likely be needed Sunday evening with gusts up to 20 knots possible, but should go back below SCA thresholds by Monday morning. Southwest winds shift northerly Monday afternoon before shifting southeast. Update as of: 239 AM EDT Fri Jun 12 2026
