Synopsis for Flagler Beach to Jupiter Inlet out to 60 nm
225 AM EDT Wed Mar 18 2026
.SYNOPSIS...The local Atlantic will sit between a stationary
front over the Bahamas and high pressure along the Eastern
Seaboard through the next couple of days. As the pressure gradient
tightens, winds will remain fresh to occasionally strong out of
the north-northeast. Boating conditions will remain poor to, at
times, hazardous through at least Friday. Then, high pressure
settles over the waters this weekend, leading to improving
conditions.
.GULF STREAM HAZARDS...Seas 4 to 6 feet, except up to 7 feet early
this morning south of Cape Canaveral.
