Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
257 PM EST Wed Jan 22 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
Elevated winds and seas are declining across coastal waters as an
area of low pressure pulls away. However, winds remain strong
enough that small craft should continue to exercise caution
through the day. Continued improvement is expected through the
remainder of the week, but some showers are possible again
tomorrow. Even as winds decline, seas will remain in the 2 to 4
foot offshore.
