Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
1046 AM EDT Sun Jun 30 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

Wave periods notably increased through the overnight hours via
southerly swells with an uptick in seas between 3-4 feet.
Southwesterly flow around 10 knots and seas around 3 to 4 feet
will prevail through the remainder of the weekend until a weak
frontal boundary pushes into the Gulf late Monday and winds become
light and variable in its wake. Wave heights of 3-4 feet will
predominantly be attributed to the tropical disturbance in the
southern Gulf of Mexico that is currently entering the Bay of
Campeche. Scattered showers and storms are expected through the
weekend and early next week with activity generally greatest in
the overnight and early morning hours as the diurnal land breeze
circulation is at its peak.
