Synopsis
A strong area of high pressure will remain in place to our north through the remainder of the week leading to a prolonged period of onshore flow. A strong coastal low will then develop in the Atlantic Thursday and intensify as it lifts northward into this weekend. Small Craft Advisories will likely be needed for much of the Friday through Saturday time period, and a few low-end gale gusts can't be ruled out.

What this buoy measures
This buoy is not reporting waves, water temperature, air temperature or barometric pressure. Conditions above come from the sensors it does carry, and the forecast, tides and sun times on this page are regional rather than measured at the buoy.
