Strong winds and high seas are forecast for offshore areas on Friday, May 15, 2026, according to the latest marine weather bulletin from the National Weather Service. Winds are expected to reach 30 to 40 knots, with gusts up to 50 knots, and seas building to 10 to 15 feet.
A small craft advisory is in effect for coastal waters, with a gale warning issued for offshore zones. Mariners are advised to exercise caution and consider delaying travel until conditions improve.
The hazardous conditions are due to a low-pressure system moving across the region, bringing strong northerly winds and elevated wave heights. The system is expected to weaken by Saturday, but residual swells may persist.
No injuries or damage have been reported as of Friday morning. Local authorities urge boaters to check updated forecasts before heading out.
