Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
402 AM EDT Fri Jul 19 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

With high pressure to the east, an ESE flow prevails in the
background. However, daily sea breeze formation is expected, turning
winds onshore near the coast in the afternoon. Showers and
thunderstorms are expected to develop along these sea breeze
boundaries, pushing back towards nearshore coastal waters late in
the afternoon and into the evening. While seas are forecast to
remain around a foot or less into next week, locally higher seas
should be expected near thunderstorms.
