GMZ700-310615- Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line out to 60 nm 127 PM EDT Sat Aug 30 2025 .SYNOPSIS... Generally favorable marine conditions are expected this weekend as a stationary boundary meanders in or south of the marine zones. The boundary will be the culprit of marine showers and storms which may locally increase winds and seas around heavier convection. Light winds Saturday will transition to northeast winds Sunday into midweek as high pressure strengthens to the north. This could lead to periods of cautionary conditions, especially in waters west of Apalachicola. The frontal boundary moves east Wednesday with winds decreasing while switching out of the northwest. $$ GMZ735-310615- St. Andrews Bay Waterways- 1227 PM CDT Sat Aug 30 2025 .TONIGHT...Northeast winds 5 to 10 knots.
