Small craft advisory for Mass. and R.I. mariners

We hate to report that it’s not a good beach day, although all Rhode Island beaches appear open and ready for business today, according to the state Department of Health.

Mariners in Massachusetts and Rhode Island coastal waters, beware the small craft advisory the National Weather Service has issued from noon today through tomorrow morning.

You can find more marine weather information on the National Weather Service’s interactive coastal marine map for this region.

Also, for all your nautical needs, boaters love the Maine Harbors site, which is packed with tide charts, marine weather news, information on fishing tournaments and links to local boat builders, charter operators, lighthouses and publications. The tide charts on this site are so well done that boaters rave about them. Check out Rhode Island’s chart.

To check the status of any beach for swimming, go to the state Department of Health’s beach-monitoring siteor call (401) 222-2751 for recorded information.
