.Synopsis...

A generally moderate east-southeast breeze will persist across the
local waters through the start of the weekend as Hurricane Rafael
moves out over the central Gulf and weak high pressure sits over the
western Atlantic. This will lead to gradually improving, but still
cautionary, conditions at times over the local waters through
Saturday.

Gulf Stream Hazards: Easterly winds to 20 kts and seas 3 to 5 ft
today.

The approximate location of the west wall of the Gulf Stream as of
Nov 07, 2024...

  1 nautical miles north northeast of Fowey Rocks.
  7 nautical miles east of Port Everglades.
  3 nautical miles east northeast of Lake Worth.
