routinely monitor subsequent forecast issuances and updates for
the latest marine weather information.

Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
247 PM EDT Thu Jun 27 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure ridging west through the Florida Strait and into the
central Gulf of Mexico will maintain a west-southwest onshore flow
heading into the weekend. Over the weekend, wind directions may
become more variable as the high pressure ridge begins to shift
slightly northward. This should be relatively brief, though, as the
onshore flow is set to resume early next week. Winds will be light,
not exceeding 15 knots with wave heights 2 feet or less throughout
the period. As usual, some scattered showers and storms can be
expected daily through the next week.
