Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
131 AM EST Sun Nov 16 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

Westerly winds increase into this morning and into 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 west of
Apalachicola through today. As a moist and relatively warm air
mass moves over the cooler waters of Apalachee Bay late tonight
and 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.
