Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
759 PM EDT Wed Jun 18 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

A SSE flow remains in place across the region, with increasing
moisture favoring higher rain chances for late week. However,
this flow will turn onshore along the coast each afternoon, with
some storms possible as this occurs over Bay and inland waters
before becoming more widespread in the evening and overnight hours
across the remainder of the coastal waters. While winds remain
below 15 kts outside of thunderstorms, generally keeping seas in
the 1 to 2 foot range, higher waves and seas should be expected in
the vicinity of thunderstorms.
