456 FZUS52 KTAE 301747 CWFTAE Coastal Waters Forecast for Florida National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 1247 PM EST Sun Nov 30 2025 Gulf coastal waters from the mouth of the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton County Line out to 60 nm. Seas are provided as a range of the average height of the highest 1/3 of the waves...along with the occasional height of the average highest 1/10 of the waves. GMZ700-010630- Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line out to 60 nm 1247 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. $$ GMZ751-752-770-772-010630- 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- 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- 1147 AM CST Sun Nov 30 2025 .THIS AFTERNOON...East winds 10 to 15 knots.
