Coastal Waters Forecast for Florida

National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL

Marine conditions expected to deteriorate Saturday as a cold front approaches the waters bringing a line of showers and storms. Behind the front, strong high pressure building into the region will quickly elevate winds and seas Saturday that will continue into early next week. Large choppy seas will produce hazardous marine conditions with winds gusts to near gale force. Mariners should remain in port until conditions improve around mid week.

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.
