Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
908 AM EDT Thu Aug 28 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

Generally light to gentle northeasterly breezes will continue over
the waters through Friday before a stationary front lifts
northward. As the front wavers back and forth over our waters,
wind directions will be rather chaotic, though speeds remain
gentle. North of the front, winds will be out of the east to
northeast, but south of the front, winds will be more westerly to
southwesterly. Winds early next week will increase some as the
pressure gradient tightens between building high pressure to the
north and the stationary front to our south. Showers and storms
are expected over the waters, especially Friday through the end of
the period. Seas will remain around 1 to 2 feet, building to 2 to
3 feet early next week.
