MARINE

Marginal SCA conditions for western ocean late today into this evening with otherwise sub-SCA conditions through the weekend with the overall synoptic pattern.

Rip Currents...

For today into this evening, the rip current risk for Southwest Suffolk back west through Brooklyn ocean beaches is high. This is due to southerly fetch increasing and building waves to 3 to 4 ft with around 4-5 second period southerly swell as well as southerly winds increasing onshore to near 20 kt during the afternoon. For Southeast Suffolk ocean shorelines today into this evening, waves and onshore winds are expected to be less with a moderate rip current risk for those beaches.

For Wednesday, southwest flow near 10-15 kt is expected along the ocean beaches with main southerly swell of near 3-4 ft with near 5 second period. Rip current risk for ocean beaches Wednesday is moderate.
