Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
341 PM EDT Thu Sep 19 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

Favorable boating conditions are expected through Friday, as
winds remain light and variable and seas remain low. Come the
weekend, mainly easterly winds will get established and then hold
through mid next week. This will lead to an increase of seas of 1
to 3 feet, with the larger waves being found offshore. Cautionary
conditions may be observed next week during the overnight hours if
we`re able to get the stronger easterly surges. Dry weather
prevails through the weekend, with showers and storms starting to
creep back into the forecast early or mid next week.
