Coastal Waters Forecast for Florida
National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL
Interaction between high pressure southeast of Florida and a frontal boundary to the north will keep a predominant south-southwest wind flow around 10-15 knots and seas 2 feet or less through Saturday evening. A stray shower may be possible later this evening over the northeastern Gulf. There is also a possibility of some early morning fog over the eastern gulf waters early Saturday morning. By Saturday afternoon and continuing into Sunday, rain and storm chances increase as the frontal boundary slowly shifts southward. This will bring scattered to numerous showers and isolated storms over the eastern Gulf waters. By early Monday afternoon, the front pushes southeast of Florida and high pressure builds in from the northwest. This will clear out the rain chances, but will bring some hazardous boating conditions with breezy north-northeast winds around 15-20 knots and seas up to 5 feet for the first half of next week. Pleasant boating conditions expected mid to late next week with winds less than 10 knots and seas less than 2 feet.
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. &&
