Seas will rise toward  5  or possibly 6 feet today in response to the winds. Relaxing winds  are expected Wednesday night as flow generally trends offshore as a  weak cold front approaches from the northwest.

Though offshore flow will be in place from Thursday  onward, afternoon winds in nearshore waters will be driven by the  coastal sea breeze development each afternoon.      .GULF STREAM...    The approximate location of the west wall of the Gulf Stream as of  Jul 21, 2026 at 0000 UTC...    42 nautical miles east of Flagler Beach.  49 nautical miles east of Saint Augustine Beach.  60 nautical miles east southeast of Jacksonville Beach.  71 nautical miles east southeast of St Simons Island.    This data derived from NCEP Global RTOFS model.      $$
