Coastal Waters Forecast for Florida
National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL
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. Dense fog has lingered over the Gulf waters most of the day, but is slowly burning off and lifting. The latest model guidance is showing a lower chance of development tonight into Saturday morning and if any does develop, the northeast winds should keep it mostly away from the coast and farther out into the Gulf. As always, this will be closely monitored through the day and overnight. Otherwise, light winds 10 knots or less and seas 2 feet or less will remain over the eastern Gulf waters through late Saturday evening. A slight uptick in winds and seas expected early Sunday morning to around 10-15 knots and seas building 2-3 feet. By late morning on Sunday, conditions begin to deteriorate more as a strong cold front approaches the eastern Gulf waters from the west. Hazardous winds and seas expected through the day on Sunday and into early Monday as this front moves through the area, with a Small Craft Advisory likely needed. There is also a Marginal Risk for severe storms with damaging winds possible with frontal passage. The front moves east of Florida by late Monday evening, with clearing conditions and improving marine conditions expected. High pressure will dominate the weather for the remainder of next week with rain-free conditions, winds 10 knots or less and seas 2 feet or less. &&
