US · Published Aug 27, 2026
The National Weather Service (NWS) in Wilmington, NC, has issued a marine forecast for the coastal waters from Surf City, North Carolina, to South Santee River, South Carolina, extending up to 60 nautical miles offshore.
A weakening front is expected to lift tonight, giving way to Bermuda high pressure, which will dominate the region through Friday night.

Impact & Risks

The forecast indicates a high likelihood of showers and thunderstorms, which could disrupt marine activities and pose risks to small vessels. Winds and seas are expected to be higher in and near thunderstorms, creating potentially hazardous conditions for boaters. The persistent rainfall may also lead to localized flooding in coastal areas. Mariners and residents along the coast should remain vigilant as the cold front approaches this weekend, which could intensify weather conditions.
