Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
258 PM EDT Mon Jun 17 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

It will be a disappointing week to be out on the waters with
hazardous boating conditions expected. High pressure to the
northeast and low pressure to the southwest will create a tight
pressure gradient that will produce unseasonably strong easterly
winds. A Small Craft Advisory is now in effect through mid-week.
Wave heights of at least 3 feet, and increasing up to 9 feet
through the week, and sustained winds up to 25kts and gusting up
to 30kts. It is possible for a brief period of Gale force wind
gusts during the overnight hours Tuesday and Wednesday. Winds and
seas will be on a downward trend as we head into the weekend;
however, exercise caution conditions may linger into the weekend.
