Coastal Waters Forecast for Florida

National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL

High pressure will continue to ridge across the waters through Wednesday, keeping winds and seas well below headline criteria. The main concern will be for the possibility of sea fog developing today or tonight, with the highest fog chances over the Gulf waters north of Tarpon Springs. A cold front will move into the waters on Thursday, bringing showers and thunderstorms and winds increasing to Small Craft Advisory levels.

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. &&
