Elevated winds near 20 knots are forecast to agitate seas in open waters in eastern coastal waters, which will require caution from small craft operators and marine interests.
Additionally, spring tides are forecast to continue through Sunday, January 14th, 2024, resulting in higher-than-usual high tides and lower-than-usual low tides. During high tide periods, all marine interests are advised to exercise caution with an elevated risk of rip currents.
