Important notice to mariners...marine forecasts are issued at
least four times a day. Boaters on extended trips should
routinely monitor subsequent forecast issuances and updates for
the latest marine weather information.

Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
757 PM EDT Wed Jul 2 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
Winds will remain out of the south and southwest between
10 to 15 knots for the remainder of the week before calming down
to 5 to 10 knots over the weekend. A stalled out front over the
area will help to enhance shower and thunderstorm development for
the next several days. NHC is still monitoring the potential for
tropical development along the frontal boundary with the chance
of development still 40%. Whether it develops or not, the main
hazard we will be heavy rainfall and gusty winds associated with
thunderstorms.
