Synopsis for Jupiter Inlet to Ocean Reef FL out to 60 nm and for East
Cape Sable to Bonita Beach FL out to 60 nm-
1130 PM EDT Tue Oct 8 2024

.Synopsis...

Tropical storm conditions will become possible across our Gulf
waters on Wednesday and our Atlantic waters Wednesday night into
Thursday. While seas will subside through Thursday night along the
Gulf, seas will build quite significantly across the east coast as
swell on the back side of Milton opposes the Gulf Stream. Expect
these seas to peak on Friday and mostly subside by the end of the
weekend.

Gulf Stream Hazards: Hazardous to dangerous marine conditions in the
middle and late week period as winds and seas increase ahead of
Hurricane Milton.

The approximate location of the west wall of the Gulf Stream as of
Oct 08, 2024...

  6 nautical miles east of Fowey Rocks.
 14 nautical miles east of Port Everglades.
  6 nautical miles south southeast of Lake Worth.
  6 nautical miles east southeast of Jupiter Inlet.
