   AMZ400-101030-  Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-  220 PM EST Tue Dec 9 2025      .SYNOPSIS...    High pressure will gradually weaken as it becomes centered over our  region tonight, allowing for winds and seas to gradually subside.  Westerly winds will then develop and strengthen on Wednesday  afternoon and evening ahead of an approaching dry frontal boundary,  with Small Craft Advisory conditions expected offshore on Wednesday  night. This front will cross our region late Wednesday night,  followed by another high pressure center building towards our region  on Thursday and Friday. This high pressure center will then shift  offshore by early Saturday ahead of the next frontal boundary that  will approach our local waters from the northwest on Sunday  afternoon. This front will likely remain dry as it crosses our local  waters on Sunday night. Strong high pressure building to the north  of our region in the wake of this frontal passage will result in  strengthening northerly winds on Sunday night that will shift to  northeasterly on Monday. Small Craft Advisory conditions are likely  throughout our local waters from Sunday night through Monday  evening.      .GULF STREAM...    The approximate location of the west wall of the Gulf Stream as of  Dec 06, 2025 at 1200 UTC...    71 nautical miles east of Flagler Beach.  74 nautical miles east of Saint Augustine Beach.  85 nautical miles east southeast of Jacksonville Beach.  97 nautical miles east southeast of St Simons Island.    This data courtesy of the Naval Oceanographic Office.    $$
