GMZ700-010315- Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line out to 60 nm 1046 AM EDT Sun Jun 30 2024 .SYNOPSIS... Wave periods notably increased through the overnight hours via southerly swells with an uptick in seas between 3-4 feet. Southwesterly flow around 10 knots and seas around 3 to 4 feet will prevail through the remainder of the weekend until a weak frontal boundary pushes into the Gulf late Monday and winds become light and variable in its wake. Wave heights of 3-4 feet will predominantly be attributed to the tropical disturbance in the southern Gulf of Mexico that is currently entering the Bay of Campeche. Scattered showers and storms are expected through the weekend and early next week with activity generally greatest in the overnight and early morning hours as the diurnal land breeze circulation is at its peak. $$ GMZ730-750-752-755-765-770-772-775-010315- Apalachee Bay or Coastal Waters From Keaton Beach to Ochlockonee River FL out to 20 Nm- Coastal waters from Mexico Beach to Okaloosa Walton County Line FL out 20 NM- Coastal waters from Mexico Beach to Apalachicola FL out 20 NM- Coastal Waters From Ochlockonee River to Apalachicola Fl out to 20 Nm- Coastal waters from Suwannee River to Keaton Beach FL out 20 NM- Waters from Mexico Beach to Okaloosa Walton County Line FL from 20 to 60 NM- Waters from Apalachicola to Mexico Beach FL from 20 to 60 NM- Waters from Suwannee River to Apalachicola FL from 20 to 60 NM- 1046 AM EDT Sun Jun 30 2024 /946 AM CDT Sun Jun 30 2024/ .THIS AFTERNOON...Northwest winds 5 to 10 knots, becoming west late.
