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. Surge of northeast gale force winds and very rough seas will continue through tonight. Coastal troughing will also take shape over the near shore waters adjacent to northeast Florida, generating scattered showers that will persist into Sunday. Strong high pressure will continue its southeastward progress tonight, with this feature shifting off the Carolina coast near the Outer Banks by early Sunday afternoon. Winds will shift to easterly towards sunrise on Sunday, with Small Craft Advisory conditions continuing through Sunday night and Monday across our local waters. Coastal troughing will dissipate by Tuesday as Atlantic high pressure extends its axis westward across the southeastern states, with breezy southeasterly winds expected to continue through late next week, maintaining elevated seas across the offshore waters. .GULF STREAM.
