Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
416 PM EDT Thu Jul 18 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
Atlantic high pressure will keep mostly southerly winds in place
through the remainder of the week, though winds will shift onshore
during the day as the sea breeze spreads inland. Southeasterly
flow then develops area-wide by the weekend and into early next
week as the surface ridge axis shifts northward with wind speeds
generally remaining 10 kts or less. Other than occasional showers
and thunderstorms producing locally hazardous seas at times, no
marine headlines are expected at this time.
