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. Marine conditions will continue to deteriorate as the week goes on as a cold front moves over the area and lingers for a few days. Between this cold front stalling out to the south and a high pressure system over the NE, a tight pressure gradient will lead to advisory level, if not Gale force, winds over the water beginning Tuesday and persisting through Thursday. Showers and storms will also be possible over the waters to today and tomorrow. &&
