Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
413 AM EDT Thu Jun 27 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure to our south will maintain a westerly onshore flow
heading into the weekend. Over the weekend, wind directions may
become more variable as the high pressure system begins to move
north and shift us towards a slightly offshore flow. This should be
relatively brief, though, as the onshore flow is set to resume early
next week. Winds will be light, not exceeding 10 knots. Wave heights
will be no more than 2 feet throughout the period. As usual, some
scattered showers and storms can be expected daily through the next
week.
