Marine Forecast
Marine conditions around Long Island will be poor for both boaters and beachgoers this weekend. A strong easterly wind will create rough waters across the Atlantic Ocean, the Long Island Sound and the Hampton Bays, with waves building on the Sound to around 4 to 6 feet and even larger surf along the ocean. Gusts near 30 knots, periods of steady rain and reduced visibility will make for hazardous navigation, with small craft advisories in effect. Rough surf and a high rip current risk will also make the ocean unsafe for swimming. Conditions begin to slowly improve on Memorial Day as winds ease, but the weather remains unsettled early before calmer conditions arrive later.
