Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
131 PM EDT Fri Oct 10 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

A tight pressure gradient following frontal passage yields fresh
to strong northeast breezes into this weekend before gradually
weakening once again. Advisory conditions continue into the
weekend over the waters 0 to 60 nautical miles out with cautionary
levels at Saint Andrews Bay. Building high pressure early next
week makes for more favorable boating as gentle to moderate
northerly breezes arrive.
