As such, a Small Craft Advisory remains in effect for all coastal zones until 18Z. Additionally, seas remain elevated, particularly in the offshore waters with waves 8-9 ft and nearshore waters waters around 5-6 ft.
Gulf coastal waters from Bonita Beach to the mouth of the Suwannee River out to 60 NM. Important notice to mariners.marine forecasts are issued at least four times a day. Boaters on extended trips should routinely monitor subsequent forecast issuances and updates for the latest marine weather information. The wave heights are forecast as significant wave height which is the average of the highest one-third of the waves. The highest waves may rarely be twice the significant wave height. The winds and seas near thunderstorms may be higher than forecast. By early afternoon, winds are expected to diminish below advisory criteria across the northern zones, Tampa Bay, and Charlotte Harbor, where the SCA will be allowed to expire.
