Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
1025 AM EDT Sat Sep 14 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
Light east to southeasterly winds prevail before becoming onshore
as the afternoon sea breeze develops. Winds will be light and
fairly variable during the weekend and into early next week as
high pressure holds over the waters. Boating conditions should
improve through the weekend with drier air potentially limiting
rain/storm chances slightly, though enough moisture will linger
to support occasional storms at times.
