Coastal Waters Forecast for Northeast Florida/Southeast Georgia
National Weather Service Jacksonville FL
Atlantic Coastal Waters from Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm. Seas are provided as a range of the average height of the highest 1/3 of the waves, along with the occasional height of the average highest 1/10 of the waves. West-southwesterly winds will strengthen this afternoon and evening ahead of an approaching dry cold front. Small Craft Advisory conditions will prevail through around sunset for the offshore waters, followed by frequent Gale Force wind gusts from this evening through the early morning hours on Saturday. Meanwhile, Caution level wind speeds near shore will increase to Small Craft Advisory levels later this afternoon, with occasional Gale Force wind gusts expected tonight. Arctic high pressure building towards the Upper Midwest this afternoon in the wake of this cold front will shift southeastward over the Ohio Valley by late Saturday afternoon. Strong northwesterly winds during the morning hours will shift to northerly while gradually decreasing on Saturday afternoon and evening, with speeds falling below Small Craft Advisory levels for the offshore waters adjacent to northeast Florida by sunset. Winds will briefly shift to northeasterly on Sunday as high pressure begins to build over the Florida peninsula, allowing for winds and seas to diminish. Light westerly winds will then prevail early next week as high pressure remains centered to the south of our local waters. .GULF STREAM.
