Coastal Waters Forecast for Florida

National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL

Ridging will be shifting north over the next 24 hours. This will start to shift our winds from the southwest to the east. ALso, we will see the timing of showers change. Instead of the scattered showers throughout the overnight and early morning hours we will see the best storm chances in the evening as storms push off the coast. Also starting Thursday night we will see nightly wind surges when winds pick up to 10 to 15 mph before slowly coming down in the morning hours.

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.
