ANZ500-040815- Synopsis for Flagler Beach to Jupiter Inlet out to 60 nm 321 PM EDT Fri Oct 3 2025 .SYNOPSIS...Solid Small Craft Advisory conditions will persist through this weekend as high pressure along the eastern seaboard builds over the local waters. The resulting tight pressure gradient will produce fresh onshore winds and high seas. A weak low pressure system has developed in The Bahamas, and while this system is forecast to remain weak, it could further tighten the pressure gradient and worsen boating conditions as it tracks northwest this weekend. Some gradual improvement is forecast early next week, but seas look to remain poor to hazardous, especially in the Gulf Stream. .GULF STREAM HAZARDS...East to Northeast winds 20 to 25 knots and gusty, with seas 9 to 12 feet.
