Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
723 PM EST Wed Nov 26 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will move across the waters overnight and through
the early morning hours on Thanksgiving. Just ahead of the front,
warm moist air riding over the waters will likely create sea fog
which will be locally dense. The fog will lift from north to south
as the front moves across the region with winds shifting to the
north and northwest and becoming gusty. Hazardous boating
conditions will develop and will persist through much of the
extended weekend with winds around 15 to 25 knots from Thursday
afternoon through Saturday...and a Small Craft Advisory will
likely be needed. Winds and seas will begin to subside on Sunday.
