Synopsis for Flagler Beach to Jupiter Inlet out to 60 nm
842 AM EDT Wed Apr 8 2026
.SYNOPSIS...Dangerous conditions exist over the entire local
Atlantic. A front has stalled near the Florida Keys, well to the
south of continental high pressure over the Northeast U.S. This
has set up a tight pressure gradient along the Eastern Seaboard,
causing frequent gale-force gusts and extremely agitated seas. The
gale-force gusts diminish on Thursday, but expect rough seas to
persist. From Friday onward, fresh to strong onshore breezes will
continue as the high anchors over the Appalachians. This will
prolong hazardous boating conditions through much of the weekend.
.GULF STREAM HAZARDS...Northeast winds 25 to 35 knots with gusts
up to 40 knots, and seas building to 12 to 17 feet.
The approximate location of the west wall of the Gulf Stream based on

48 nautical miles east of Ponce Inlet.
