Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
806 PM EDT Thu Jun 12 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure ridging across central Florida and into the eastern
Gulf will produce a predominant east-southeast wind flow over the
eastern Gulf waters through the weekend. A daily sea breeze can
also be expected turning winds onshore near the west coast each
afternoon. With this pattern, the highest rain and storm chances
will be during the afternoon and evening hours with storms moving
from east to west. Outside of thunderstorms, light winds 10 knots
or less and seas 2 feet or less can be expected through the
period.
