NWS Marine Forecast



 Hazardous marine condition(s):
 Small Craft Advisory
 Gale Warning
   AMZ600-GMZ606-270800-  216 PM EST Mon Jan 26 2026    .Synopsis for Jupiter Inlet to Ocean Reef FL out to 60 nm and for  East Cape Sable to Bonita Beach FL out to 60 nm...    Light southwesterly winds at daybreak will veer to a westerly  direction by late morning and remain breezy out ahead of the arrival  of a strong cold front to the region. As the front pushes  southeastward across the region during the afternoon hours, a line  of broken showers and isolated thunderstorms will develop and remain  along the leading edge of the frontal boundary. Winds will quickly  ramp up behind the frontal passage out of a northwesterly direction,  gusting to 25-30+ knots as a pressure gradient enhances. Marine  conditions will quickly deteriorate as a result as winds remain  above Small Craft Advisory levels and wave heights in the Atlantic  and Gulf build quickly.    A Small Craft Advisory will go into effect for the Gulf waters at  1pm this afternoon with a Small Craft Advisory going into effect for  the Lake Okeechobee, Biscayne Bay, and Atlantic waters going into  effect at 7pm. A prolonged period of hazardous marine conditions,  especially in the Atlantic and Gulf waters is possible during the  rest of this week as a pressure gradient and reinforcing cold fronts  keep winds elevated.    Gulf Stream Hazards: Sustained winds increasing to 20-30 knots this  evening with higher gusts possible. Waves will quickly build to  7-10 feet during the early morning hours of Tuesday.    The approximate location of the west wall of the Gulf Stream as of  Jan 24, 2026.    1 nautical miles north northeast of Fowey Rocks.  7 nautical miles south southeast of Port Everglades.  6 nautical miles south southeast of Lake Worth.  6 nautical miles east northeast of Jupiter Inlet.    This data courtesy of the Naval Oceanographic Office.    $$
