High pressure will continue to ridge into the northeastern Gulf through the weekend, keeping east to southeast flow in place, except becoming onshore each afternoon near the coast with the sea breeze. A cold front will move southeast into the waters Monday and Monday night, with wind speeds increasing to Exercise Caution levels, then Advisory levels by Tuesday morning. The Small Craft Advisory conditions, possibly Gale Warning criteria at times, are expected to persist through Thursday. Rain and thunderstorm chances will also increase through the first half of the 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.
