Georgia marine forecasts: common questions
Is there a small craft advisory off Georgia right now?
No advisory or warning is in force in any of the 3 Georgia marine zones at the moment. Advisories are issued per zone by the National Weather Service and appear at the top of a zone's page as soon as one is posted.
How windy is it on the Georgia coast right now?
Buoys off Georgia are reporting 4 to 5 knots, the strongest at Coastal waters from Savannah GA to Altamaha Sound GA, including Grays Reef National Marine Sanctuary. A knot is 1.15 mph, so 20 knots is about 23 mph. Wind measured offshore is usually stronger than the same wind felt in a harbor.
How rough are the seas off Georgia today?
The highest seas measured right now are 1 ft off Coastal waters from Savannah GA to Altamaha Sound GA, including Grays Reef National Marine Sanctuary, out of the 3 of 3 Georgia zones with a wave-capable buoy nearby. Seas are significant wave height, the average of the highest third of the waves, so individual waves run noticeably higher than the figure.
Who issues the marine forecast for Georgia?
The National Weather Service, from its Charleston, SC office and its Jacksonville, FL office. Each of the 3 zones on this page gets its own bulletin in a legacy teletype format, reproduced here in full underneath the charts and the live buoy readings.
