COASTAL WATERS FROM STONINGTON ME TO MERRIMACK RIVER MA OUT TO 25 NM

ANZ100-171000-
502 PM EDT Sat May 16 2026

.Synopsis for Stonington ME to Merrimack River Ma out to 25 NM...
Seas are expected to remain between 5 and 7 feet outside the bays
through much of the weekend. Freshening southwest winds will occasionally
gust to near 25 knots at times ahead of a cold front. This front
will cross the waters tonight into early Sunday. Additionally, ocean
waters remain very cold and air temperatures will be warming through
this weekend and early next week. Warm air temperatures may cause
people to underestimate the dangers of cold ocean waters. High
pressure then builds across the waters Sunday night and becomes
centered over the western Atlantic early next week. Another front
approaches toward the middle of next week.
