Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
1249 PM EST Fri Nov 8 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

Seas are beginning to gradually subside as Hurricane Rafael
continues to move to the west. Wave heights may occasionaly be as
high as 6ft well offshore through this evening. It looks to be
Monday before seas get to around 2 feet or less. Additionally, a
breezy easterly flow sticks around with a tight gradient between
Rafael and the surface high to our east. This combo favors
Exercise Caution conditions for small craft through the weekend.
