AMZ400-172000- Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm- 1229 AM EST Mon Nov 17 2025 .SYNOPSIS... Winds will turn onshore and trend lighter today leading to fair maritime conditions under the influence of high pressure which will continue throughout the week. A southerly wind shift followed by a shift to offshore flow will take place later this week as the high pressure ridge axis moves south and cold front begins to sharpen well to the west. The southerly flow will push warm, moist air across the waters which may lead to patchy marine fog in the nearshore waters to end the week. The aforementioned sharpening front may move through the waters as early as Sunday morning but more likely to pass next Monday. .GULF STREAM...
