Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
851 PM EST Sun Nov 30 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

High pressure to the north of the waters and a frontal boundary
stalled to the south lead to fresh easterly breezes late tonight
into Monday mainly to the west of Apalachicola to the Okaloosa/
Walton County line, where small craft operators are advised to
exercise caution. Low pressure northwest of the waters will lift
the aforementioned frontal boundary northward as a warm front on
Monday night with winds becoming southerly, and then clocking
around to northwesterly as the low moves away from the waters.
There is a 70% chance a small craft advisory will be needed for
most of the coastal waters from Monday night into Tuesday. We
expect tranquil boating conditions to return by Wednesday and
continue into Thursday. The approach of the next storm system will
increase winds Friday into Saturday with a 50% chance of
advisory-level conditions.
