Breezy onshore winds and elevated  seas are expected through Thursday night as high pressure  gradually weakens over the southeastern states.    .GULF STREAM...    The approximate location of the west wall of the Gulf Stream as of  May 31, 2026 at 0000 UTC...    50 nautical miles east of Flagler Beach.  58 nautical miles east of Saint Augustine Beach.  70 nautical miles east southeast of Jacksonville Beach.  71 nautical miles east southeast of St Simons Island.    This data derived from NCEP Global RTOFS model.    $$
