Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
151 PM EST Sat Nov 15 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

Light winds less than 15 knots favor light seas through the week as
dry high pressure remains in control. There is a low possibility
that pre-dawn land fog could meander over  inshore waters during
the morning, but this will quickly dissipate as the sun rises.
