Coastal Waters Forecast for Florida
National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL
Marine conditions will become more hazardous through the day as a cold front moves through the peninsula, bringing showers and a few thunderstorms across the waters. Winds and seas will start to increase as this front moves through and a Small Craft Advisory will be in effect for all waters for this afternoon through at least Monday night but more than likely for much of the upcoming week as northeast winds increase to around 20-30 knots with some gusts to gale force. There may be periods this upcoming week with winds less than advisory criteria, but overall wind speeds look to remain elevated into next weekend.
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.
