Coastal Waters Forecast for Florida
National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL
Deteriorating marine conditions are expected overnight as a cold front approaches. Showers will initially have the potential to create locally hazardous winds and seas. The winds will then increase across the waters and will continue through Friday morning. Winds are forecast to reach 20 to 25 knots, with gusts to around 30 knots or higher. Seas will build in response to hazardous and even dangerous heights offshore. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect beginning early Thursday morning and continuing through Friday morning when winds and seas subside. Quieter boating weather then returns for Saturday before another front arrives on Sunday, favoring another period of potentially hazardous marine conditions.
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. &&
