Important notice to mariners...marine forecasts are issued at least four times a day. Boaters on extended trips should routinely monitor subsequent forecast issuances and updates for the latest marine weather information. The wave heights are forecast as significant wave height which is the average of the highest one-third of the waves. The highest waves may rarely be twice the significant wave height. The winds and seas near thunderstorms may be higher than forecast. GMZ800-210315- Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River- 1013 AM EDT Thu Jun 20 2024 .SYNOPSIS... The easterly flow is beginning to weaken, allowing a decrease in seas across coastal waters as isolated to scattered storms remain possible each day into the weekend. However, conditions will still remain hazardous to small craft through the day and into this evening. The best chance for storms will be late afternoon/evening as showers and thunderstorms drift offshore. Coverage is expected to increase some this weekend (during a similar time-frame), but by early next week, scattered to numerous showers and storms could be possible at nearly any time as a west-southwest flow takes control. $$ GMZ830-210315- Tampa Bay waters- 1013 AM EDT Thu Jun 20 2024 ...SMALL CRAFT EXERCISE CAUTION... .TODAY...East winds 10 to 15 knots with gusts up to 20 knots.
