NWS Marine Forecast


   AMZ400-060915-  Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-  811 PM EDT Sat Apr 5 2025      .SYNOPSIS...    High pressure centered near Bermuda will continue to extend its  axis westward across our local waters through tonight. Southeast  to southerly winds will approach Small Craft Advisory levels this  evening and will remain at Caution levels through Sunday  afternoon. High pressure will weaken and slide further eastward in  advance of a strong cold front that will be entering the  southeastern states on Sunday afternoon. Southerly winds and  building seas will likely bring Small Craft Advisory conditions to  the offshore waters on Sunday night and Monday. Showers and  thunderstorms will then traverse our local waters from late Monday  afternoon through early Tuesday morning as this cold front moves  through. A few strong storms will be possible on Monday evening  along this front. Winds will then shift to northwesterly late  Monday night, northerly on Tuesday afternoon, and northeasterly on  Tuesday night and Wednesday as high pressure builds over the Ohio  Valley in the wake of this frontal passage, with this feature  then wedging down the southeastern seaboard by late Tuesday night  and Wednesday. Small Craft Advisory conditions are expected  throughout our local waters by midweek as onshore winds  strengthen.      .GULF STREAM...    The approximate location of the west wall of the Gulf Stream as of  Apr 03, 2025 at 1200 UTC...    58 nautical miles east of Flagler Beach.  66 nautical miles east of Saint Augustine Beach.  75 nautical miles east of Jacksonville Beach.  88 nautical miles east of St Simons Island.    This data courtesy of the Naval Oceanographic Office.      $$
