326 AM EDT Mon Oct 13 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

With lighter winds, seas are expected to generally be lighter during
the day as well through the middle of the week. However, mariners
should expect a six hour period each evening beginning around sunset
where winds will increase, pushing up seas by about a foot or so. By
mid-week, winds will again increase slightly, pushing seas higher
again. However, rain-free conditions will last until the weekend at
least.
