Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
845 PM EST Sun Dec 7 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
A frontal boundary extending across northern Florida and the
northern gulf waters will meander southeastward through the night
keeping variable winds less than 15 knots and seas 2 feet or less
through Monday morning. Showers and a few thunderstorms will
continue to move south across the central and southern waters
early tonight, with more scattered to numerous showers late
tonight into Monday morning.

By late Monday afternoon, the cold front pushes southeast through
the waters as high pressure builds in from the northwest. This
will bring an end to the showers, but will bring some hazardous
boating conditions with breezy north-northeast winds at 15 to 20
knots and seas up to 5 feet for Monday and Tuesday. Pleasant
boating conditions are expected mid to late week with winds less
than 10 knots and seas less than 2 feet.
