NWS Marine Forecast


   AMZ400-030900-  Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-  225 PM EDT Wed Sep 2 2026      .SYNOPSIS...    A trough will progress westward across our local waters this  afternoon and evening, providing breezy northeasterly wind and  numerous showers and embedded thunderstorms through this evening.  Winds will shift to easterly with gradually decreasing speeds later  tonight as the trough shifts onshore, with breezy southeasterly  winds forecast on Thursday, along with scattered to numerous showers  and a few embedded thunderstorms. Weak Atlantic high pressure will  then build westward towards the southeastern seaboard on Friday,  maintaining a light southeast wind flow that will again produce  scattered to numerous showers and a few embedded thunderstorms.  Prevailing westerly winds are then expected from Saturday through at  least Monday morning as a frontal boundary sinks southward towards  our region, with this feature maintaining a stormy weather pattern,  especially during the afternoon and evening as activity pushes  eastward from coastal locations. Stronger high pressure will build  down the southeastern seaboard early next week in the wake of this  boundary, likely pushing the front over the northeast Florida  waters. Breezy onshore winds will gradually overspread our local  waters by Monday afternoon and night.      .GULF STREAM...    The approximate location of the west wall of the Gulf Stream as of  Sep 02, 2026 at 0000 UTC...    46 nautical miles east of Flagler Beach.  53 nautical miles east of Saint Augustine Beach.  64 nautical miles east southeast of Jacksonville Beach.  68 nautical miles east southeast of St Simons Island.    This data derived from NCEP Global RTOFS model.      $$
