NWS Marine Forecast


   AMZ400-310315-  Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-  815 AM EDT Sat Aug 30 2025      .SYNOPSIS...    A stationary front will linger across the northeast Florida waters  this weekend as strong high pressure over the Great Lakes begins to  wedge down the southeastern seaboard, sending a surge of  northeasterly winds and building seas across our local waters from  north to south on Sunday. Waves of showers and embedded  thunderstorms will impact our local waters this weekend, with  stronger storms capable of producing excessive lightning, strong  winds, and waterspouts. Northeasterly winds will likely peak at  Small Craft Advisory levels on Monday and will then gradually weaken  by late Tuesday and Wednesday. Widespread showers and embedded  thunderstorms will continue through midweek, with less coverage  expected ahead of an approaching cold front later in the week.  Prevailing winds will shift to offshore ahead of this approaching  cold front, allowing seas to gradually subside.      .GULF STREAM...    The approximate location of the west wall of the Gulf Stream as of  Aug 28, 2025 at 1200 UTC...    36 nautical miles east of Flagler Beach.  46 nautical miles east of Saint Augustine Beach.  56 nautical miles east of Jacksonville Beach.  71 nautical miles east southeast of St Simons Island.    This data courtesy of the Naval Oceanographic Office.      $$
