.Synopsis for Jupiter Inlet to Ocean Reef FL out to 60 nm and for
East Cape Sable to Bonita Beach FL out to 60 nm...

High pressure will remain established over the Florida peninsula
through the remainder of the weekend, with light to moderate
easterly to southeasterly winds prevailing, and generally westerly
winds developing across the Gulf waters during the afternoon.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will affect the local waters
through the day. Any showers or thunderstorms are capable of
producing brief periods of rough seas and gusty winds.

During early next week, northeasterly swell from a distant Hurricane
Erin may increase wave heights across the northern Gulf stream
waters, however current guidance indicates that conditions should
remain below hazardous levels at this time.

Gulf Stream Hazards: None.
