Small Craft Advisory
AMZ400-131500-
Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
655 PM EST Mon Jan 12 2026
Small Craft Advisory conditions will continue tonight for the
northeast Florida waters as sharp coastal troughing persists,
creating widely scattered showers offshore. Coastal troughing will
then weaken on Tuesday, with winds shifting to westerly on Wednesday
ahead of a strong cold front that will be entering the southeastern
states. Shower coverage will increase on Tuesday night and Wednesday
ahead of this front, with activity continuing through early Thursday
morning. Westerly winds will gradually strengthen late Wednesday
night, with Small Craft Advisory conditions developing and
continuing through Thursday night as strong northwesterly winds
develop in the wake of the cold frontal passage. Frequent Gale force
wind gusts are likely across our local waters on Thursday afternoon
and evening as high pressure builds eastward along the northern Gulf
coast. Winds and seas will then subside on Friday and Friday night
as high pressure builds directly over our local waters.
