Chesapeake Bay Marine Weather By Zone (2024)

FAQs

What is the best marine weather site? ›

Top Marine Weather Websites. NOAA Marine Weather – The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Marine Weather tells the daily weather, storm warnings, and climate monitoring. You can also view wind and wave charts.

Winds: SSW 13 to 18 knots. Seas: SSE 3 feet at 6 seconds. Light SSW winds with a slight chop. Very small very short period waves.

Brigantine Marine Weather & Wind Forecast - Buoyweather. Moderate to strong ESE winds with choppy seas. Small very short period waves. Winds: ESE 15 to 18 knots.

AccuWeather had the lowest absolute error of the other weather sources examined in the study, performing 7.6 percent better than the next closest provider.

Sea State. Moderate or rough, occasionally very rough later in east.

Dark, threatening clouds usually foretell the approach of severe weather. Other things to watch for are a steady increase in wind or seas or an increase in wind opposite in direction to a strong current.

If the ocean suddenly becomes increasingly choppy, with waves moving in several directions at once, that's a good indication that foul weather is on the way. The air temperature often drops precipitously when a front blows through. If you can feel a decided drop in the temperature, it's likely a storm is coming.

Check the National Weather Service Surf Zone Forecast: Before you leave for the beach, check the official surf zone forecasts and/or beach advisories and closings link. You also can ask your hotel or rental agency for local sources of weather and beach forecasts.

Local Flood Hazards

The Borough of Point Pleasant Beach is located on a barrier island. In addition to being bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, the Manasquan Inlet and River, and the canal; the Borough contains lakes that are tidal in nature; therefore, the entire Borough is subject to flooding.

Breezy WNW winds with moderate choppy seas. Small very short period waves. Winds: WNW 10 to 11 knots. Seas: SSE 3 feet at 5 seconds.

7 DAY FORECAST

Clean with WSW winds 15-20mph in the morning shifting W for the afternoon. Minimal (ankle high or less) surf. Clean in the morning with WNW winds 15-20mph. Semi clean/textured conditions for the afternoon with the winds shifting NW 10-15mph.

Breezy WSW winds with moderate choppy seas. Very small very short period waves. Winds: WSW 13 to 21 knots. Seas: S 3 feet at 6 seconds.

With the advantage of having The Weather Service's forecasts and data as a starting point, it's perhaps unsurprising that The Weather Channel manages to be slightly more accurate in their forecasts.

While NOAA releases seasonal outlooks much closer to the time frame they're predicting (such as releasing the winter outlook in mid-October), the forecasts are still subject to changes for accuracy, while the almanacs are set in stone once they're published.

One of the best marine weather apps for Android is Windy. Windy offers a wealth of detailed weather information, including wind speed and direction, wave height and direction, air temperature, precipitation, and more, all displayed on an interactive map interface.
