.Synopsis...

Generally light surface winds will continue across the coastal
waters through the rest of the weekend. Northerly swell will return
to the Atlantic waters next week from a low pressure system off the
Mid-Atlantic Coast. This will allow for the Atlantic seas to
increase from around 2 feet today to 3 to 5 feet by the middle of
the week. The Gulf seas will remain at 2 feet or less early in the
week. There could be a few thunderstorms each day through early week
over the local waters of South Florida. Eyes turn to the tropics by
mid to late week with activity in the northwestern Caribbean that
could develop.

Gulf Stream Hazards: None

The approximate location of the west wall of the Gulf Stream as of
Sep 21, 2024...

  6 nautical miles east of Fowey Rocks.
 10 nautical miles northeast of Port Everglades.
  3 nautical miles east northeast of Lake Worth.
