Coastal Waters Forecast for Florida

National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL

Winds and seas remain benign with no headlines expected through today. A cold front will move across the waters Friday night into Saturday, with Gale conditions expected Saturday and Saturday night. A few gusts to Storm Force will be possible (48 kts or greater). Winds will subside starting Sunday night, but seas will likely remain elevated for a longer period of time before they subside and so advisories may still be necessary into early 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. &&
