AMZ500-200245- Synopsis for Flagler Beach to Jupiter Inlet out to 60 nm 903 AM EST Thu Feb 19 2026 .SYNOPSIS...Lingering rough seas near the Space and Treasure Coast inlets during the twice daily outgoing tides, from interaction with a persistent long period swell. Otherwise, generally favorable boating conditions as the ridge axis of high pressure extending to Florida from the western Atlantic settles south of the area through Saturday. A strong cold front pushes through Florida and the local Atlantic waters Sunday, resulting in hazardous to potentially Gale Force conditions late Sunday into Monday. High pressure builds into the Southeast behind the front, but poor to hazardous boating conditions could persist through Tuesday, especially in the Gulf Stream. .GULF STREAM HAZARDS...None.
