Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
824 PM EDT Thu May 30 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

Overall tranquil boating conditions are expected early tonight,
before easterly winds increase, building seas to 2 to 3 feet by
Friday. Easterly to southeasterly winds Friday evening drop
slightly to around 10 knots before a nocturnal surge of cautionary
easterly winds develops from Apalachee Bay and surges westward
towards the panhandle marine zones by Saturday morning. This surge
will possibly reach advisory level winds briefly during this
period. Winds look to calm again Saturday afternoon and evening
before another nocturnal surge develops early Sunday morning. This
surge will likely be the last before more tranquil boating
conditions return to the marine zones through the middle of the
work week.
