Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas
1028 AM EST Sun Nov 1 2026
.SYNOPSIS...
A broad area of high pressure over the eastern United States
continues to sustain gentle to moderate breezes across the Florida
Keys waters this weekend. Occasionally, fresh breezes are
possible. Small Craft Should Exercise Caution headlines are in
effect for the eastern portions of Hawk Channel and the Florida
Straits. Stronger winds along the east coast will also generate an
elevated northerly swell for the waters south of the Upper Keys.
Shower chances will continue to remain high through Monday due to
broad wind convergence across the Keys. Breezes are on track to
slacken during the middle of the week as drier air moves into the
Keys.
