Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
122 AM EST Sun Dec 7 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

A Gulf low will lead to fresh breezes today in the 15 to 20 knot
range over much of the coastal waters along with seas building to
3 to 4 feet over the waters to the west of the Ochlockonee River.
Thunderstorms will also be possible today just offshore, leading
to briefly higher winds and seas, along with the potential for
waterspouts. A cold frontal passage tonight clocks winds around
to the north, increasing to advisory levels late tonight into
early Monday morning across the coastal waters to the west of
the Ochlockonee River, where a Small Craft Advisory is in effect.
There is a 50% chance the advisory may need to be extended to
the east of the Ochlockonee River by Monday afternoon. Tranquil
boating conditions should return by Tuesday afternoon.
