Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
1239 PM EST Sat Nov 15 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

Tranquil boating conditions this evening, before westerly winds
increase overnight and continue into Sunday in the 15 to 20 knot
range, with seas building 2 to 3 feet. Winds begin to subside in
the wake of a cold frontal passage Sunday night, but seas remain
elevated until slowly subsiding to 1 to 2 feet on Monday. As such,
Small craft operators should exercise caution beginning tonight
to the west of Apalachicola, then east of Apalachicola on Sunday
into Sunday night. As a moist and relatively warm air mass moves
over the cooler waters of Apalachee Bay late Sunday into early
Monday, patchy maritime fog is possible. More tranquil boating
conditions return by late Monday through Wednesday as high
pressure settles over the waters. As the high center moves east
and a low center approaches the Mississippi Valley, southeasterly
winds will increase by Thursday, with the potential for Small
Craft Advisory conditions increasing.
