.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 245 AM THURSDAY...MODERATE SW FLOW CURRENTLY WITH SUSTAINED
WINDS IN THE MID/UPR TEENS (KNOTS) AND GUSTS IN THE LOWER 20S. WILL
RETAIN "EXERCISE CAUTION" STATEMENT THROUGH AT LEAST MID MORNING
BEFORE WINDS EASE AS FRONT NEARS TO A MORE OVERHEAD POSITION AND SFC
PRES GRADIENT LOOSENS UP. SEAS RUNNING A HEALTHY 4 TO 5 FEET (6FT AT
FRYING PAN) WITH JUST ABOUT ALL THE WAVE ENERGY CONTAINED IN 6
SECOND WAVE PERIODS. THIS TRANSLATES TO MODERATELY STEEP SEAS AND
SERVES AS ANOTHER MOTIVATION TO KEEP THE EXERCISE CAUTION STATEMENT
GOING THIS MORNING. ALTHOUGH WIND SPEEDS WILL EASE...SEAS WILL
LIKELY REMAIN IN THE 3 TO 5 FOOT RANGE MUCH OF THE DAY...HIGHEST
SEAS OFFSHORE THROUGH THE DAY...WITH SUBSIDING SEAS MORE IN EARNEST
THIS EVENING.
SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 3 AM THURSDAY...EXPECT THE WEAK GRADIENT TO ALLOW FOR A
LARGELY SEABREEZE-DOMINATED WIND FIELD. WILL INITIALIZE WITH LIGHT
N/NW WINDS FRI MORNING BEHIND A WEAK FRONT...THEN COMING AROUND TO
S/SW IN THE AFTERNOON AS A SEABREEZE DEVELOPS BUT DOES NOT MAKE
MUCH OF A PUSH ONTO LAND. WITH SPEEDS AT 10-15 KT WE SHOULD STAY
WELL UNDER ANY ADVISORY THRESHOLDS. WILL REPEAT THE PROCESS ON
SATURDAY AS THE PATTERN DOES NOT CHANGE MUCH. SEAS 2-3 FT THRU THE
PERIOD...THO I DID INITIALIZE WITH 2-4 FT ON FRIDAY MORNING AS A
RESIDUAL FROM THE SW FETCH OVERNIGHT.
LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 3 AM THURSDAY...LOOKING FOR ONE MORE OSCILLATION IN THE WIND
DIRECTION SAT NIGHT...A SCENARIO THAT IS NOT FAVORED BY CLIMO
ALONG THE CAROLINA COAST IN JULY BUT SUPPORTED BY RECENT TRENDS.
GRADIENT GETS A LITTLE TIGHTER LATER ON SUNDAY AND INTO
MONDAY...SO WILL LOOK FOR A MORE SOLID S-SW DIRECTION TO THE
WINDS. WIND SPEEDS WILL BE FAIRLY MODEST...GENERALLY NOT MUCH MORE
THAN A SOLID 15 KT WITH THE AFTERNOON/EVENING SEABREEZE
ENHANCEMENT. SEAS 2-3 FT THRU MOST OF THE PERIOD.
