Winds will be primarily out of the east to southeast through the weekend below cautionary levels. The main hazard will continue to be afternoon and evening storms that push off of land and over the Gulf. Some of these storms could cause locally strong gusty winds and hazardous seas.

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.
