Coastal Waters Forecast for Florida
National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL
336 AM EDT Sat Apr 13 2024

Gulf coastal waters from Bonita Beach to the mouth of the
Suwannee River out to 60 NM.

Important notice to mariners...marine forecasts are issued at
least four times a day. Boaters on extended trips should
routinely monitor subsequent forecast issuances and updates for
the latest marine weather information.

The wave heights are forecast as significant wave height which is
the average of the highest one-third of the waves. The highest
waves may rarely be twice the significant wave height. The winds
and seas near thunderstorms may be higher than forecast.

Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
336 AM EDT Sat Apr 13 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
A westerly swell continues today, but is gradually subsiding with a
lighter flow. It will still be another couple days before risks for
small craft completely subside, however. After that point, a long
stretch of quiet and dry weather favors nice boating conditions for
all. There could, however, be a southerly swell later into next week
that brings 2 to 3 foot seas back to coastal waters.
