Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
225 AM EDT Fri Oct 2 2026

.SYNOPSIS...

High pressure ridge over the western Atlantic through the weekend
will bring breezy southeast winds over local waters while a
surge of tropical moisture promotes increasing showers and
thunderstorms. By early next week, strong high pressure will wedge
down the east coast, pushing the cold front through the local waters
by Monday night. This will bring a sharp surge of northeast winds
and building seas, making Small Craft Advisory conditions likely on
Monday night, with wind gusts potentially reaching Gale Force and
seas rising to 8 to 10 feet or higher offshore Tuesday through at
least Thursday.
