Coastal Waters Forecast for Florida

National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL

High pressure over the southeast U.S. will keep east through northeast winds over the eastern Gulf waters through Friday. Some showers and isolated thunderstorms will also be possible the next couple of days, especially off the southwest coast of Florida. A cold front moves through the waters late Friday night and Saturday producing higher rain and storm chances for all of the eastern Gulf waters. A tight pressure gradient sets up over the region in the wake of this front producing north through northeast winds around 20-30 knots and seas up to 13 feet with Small Craft Advisory conditions, possibly Gale conditions at times, starting Saturday and continuing for much of next 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.
