.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...

A moderate to fresh north to northeasterly breeze will continue
across the local waters for most of today. By this afternoon, the
passage of a frontal boundary will enhance winds further from north
to south. This will result in SCEC (Small Craft Exercise Caution)
conditions first developing across our northern Atlantic waters this
afternoon before expanding to the rest of the region (with the
exception of Lake Okeechobee) during the overnight hours. A building
northeasterly swell will develop across the Atlantic waters,
resulting in elevated seas across the Atlantic beginning late this
afternoon and persisting through early Saturday. Isolated to
scattered showers will be possible this afternoon through Thursday
mainly across the Atlantic waters.

Gulf Stream Hazards: Seas building to 5 to 7 feet tonight into
Friday along with northeasterly winds near 15-19 kts.

The approximate location of the west wall of the Gulf Stream as of
Oct 11, 2025.

  6 nautical miles east of Fowey Rocks.
  7 nautical miles east of Port Everglades.
  9 nautical miles east of Lake Worth.
  6 nautical miles east northeast of Jupiter Inlet.
