Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
420 AM EDT Thu May 23 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure building over the area should keep east to
southeast winds through the end of the week, becoming onshore in
the afternoon as the sea breeze moves inland. Flow then shifts
to the west to southwest as the ridge axis shifts south for the
weekend. Rain chances continue to be minimal until mid next week
when some extra moisture returns with a weak frontal passage.
Pleasant boating conditions prevail during this time.
