.Synopsis...

A strong east-northeasterly breeze will persist across the local
waters through the weekend as strong high pressure sits over the
Southeast US with a frontal boundary over the Florida Straits. This
will create hazardous marine conditions each day through the
weekend.

Gulf Stream Hazards: E-NE winds 20-25 kts and seas 6-10 ft through
the weekend.

The approximate location of the west wall of the Gulf Stream as of
Oct 12, 2024...

  6 nautical miles east of Fowey Rocks.
