Coastal Waters Forecast for Florida

National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL

Scattered to numerous showers and isolated thunderstorms will occur today. Winds and seas will continue to subside through Monday, however mariners should still use caution when on the eastern Gulf waters as seas will remain around 3-6 feet through this morning, especially over the northeastern Gulf waters. Improving conditions will continue late Sunday and into next week as high pressure builds into the region and holds over the Gulf through mid week with winds below cautionary 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.
