Over the next several days, the coastal waters will be under the influence of a subtropical ridge of high pressure over the Southwest Atlantic. The main concern will be sea fog through this weekend due to the warm and moist air mass over winter-chilled waters. The ridge will maintain southeast winds around 10 to 15 knots through the period. Daily afternoon seabreezes will prevail over the nearshore waters. The next chance of precipitation is not until midweek as low pressure approaches. $$ GMZ751-770-071415- Coastal waters from Mexico Beach to Okaloosa Walton County Line FL out 20 NM- Waters from Mexico Beach to Okaloosa Walton County Line FL from 20 to 60 NM- 742 PM CST Fri Mar 6 2026 ...DENSE FOG ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 AM CST SATURDAY... .REST OF TONIGHT...Southeast winds 10 to 15 knots.
