out to 60 nm
853 AM EDT Sat Jul 26 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

Favorable marine conditions are on tap for the next few days as
high pressure dominates. Southeast winds today will give way to
northerly winds beginning Sunday as high pressure slides to the
west of the marine waters. Convection over the waters for the next
several days will be isolated at best before a more unsettled
pattern develops mid week. Rain chances ramp back up towards the
end of the period. Generally, wave heights will remain in the 1 to
3 foot range with locally higher winds and seas in and near
thunderstorms.
