Seas are provided as a range of the average height of the highest 1/3 of the waves, along with the occasional height of the average highest 1/10 of the waves. AMZ400-042145- Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm- 232 AM EDT Sat Oct 4 2025 .SYNOPSIS... High pressure stretching along the Mid-Atlantic and Carolina coasts will continue to wedge down the southeastern seaboard, with this feature expected to gradually weaken today. Gusty east-northeasterly winds and Small Craft Advisory conditions will continue this weekend across our local waters, with occasional wind gusts to Gale Force possible tonight and rough, elevated seas continuing into early next week. Meanwhile, coastal troughing positioned over our local waters will continue to generate waves of moderate to heavy showers, with a few embedded thunderstorms possible. Otherwise, weak low pressure developing along a frontal boundary over southern Florida will lift slowly northward this weekend, resulting in increasing coverage of showers and thunderstorms by Sunday and Monday. Prevailing winds will shift to easterly on Sunday as high pressure shifts off the Mid-Atlantic coast, with Small Craft Advisory conditions and rough, elevated seas extending into next week. .GULF STREAM...
