Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas
429 AM EST Sat Feb 7 2026
.SYNOPSIS...The relatively cool waters of the Florida Bay as well
as the nearshore Bayside/Gulfside waters will cause winds to
slacken more appreciably during the afternoons over the next
several days. Expecting one more decent nocturnal surge to occur
Saturday night into Sunday. Thereafter, breezes will wax and wane
as an area of high pressure slides into the Mid- Atlantic over the
weekend and into early next week. Northwest winds on Saturday
will shift around to the north and northeast as the high slides
into the eastern half of the U.S. High pressure will then
consolidate into the southeast U.S/Northwestern Bahamas and
maintain winds more east of north.
