Coastal Waters Forecast for Florida

National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL

South winds remain over the waters ahead of a frontal boundary that will bring widely scattered showers across the Gulf waters today and tonight. As the front moves through, winds will shift to the west tonight and then northwest to north on Friday, though speeds will remain below headlines. Winds then quickly become northeast to east this weekend into next week, with still no headlines expected.

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. &&
