As the front moves through, winds will shift to the west tonight and then northwest to north on Friday, with speeds nearing exercise caution levels Friday afternoon. Winds then quickly become northeast to east this weekend into next week, with no headlines expected.

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.
