.Synopsis for Jupiter Inlet to Ocean Reef FL out to 60 nm and for
East Cape Sable to Bonita Beach FL out to 60 nm...

Winds will begin to pick up out of the northeast today as they rise
from gentle to moderate, especially heading into Tuesday night.
These winds will further increase on Wednesay as they reach fresh
speeds across the Atlantic and fresh to strong speeds in the Gulf
waters. In conjunction with the increase in winds, seas will also

can produce further hazardous conditions.
