Coastal Waters Forecast for Florida

National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL

Tropical Depression Two will continue to move slowly northwest and then west over the northern Gulf over the next few days with a tightening pressure gradient across the waters. This will lead to a breezy south to southwest flow through Tuesday along with periods of showers and thunderstorms, with higher winds and seas likely in and near thunderstorms. During the second half of the week, winds and seas will subside as the system moves further west away from the waters.

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.
