Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
202 PM EDT Sat Oct 11 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

Small Craft Advisory conditions continue in central and southern
marine zones, including Tampa Bay waters, as breezy NE winds
continue on the backside of a coastal low in the southwest
Atlantic. The Small Craft Advisory conditions should diminish
tonight but small Craft should exercise caution into Sunday
morning. Winds shift northerly on Sunday below 15 kts with seas
gradually easing to 4 ft or less for the eastern Gulf waters. By
early next week, seas fall to 2 ft or less with winds primarily
out of the northeast as high pressure builds north of the area,
though brief periods of exercise caution conditions may be
possible at times by mid week.
