Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
215 PM EDT Mon Oct 13 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

High pressure north of the area will maintain mostly northeasterly
winds generally less than 15 kts, though there will be a six hour
period each evening beginning around sunset where winds could
increase to exercise cautionary levels during this time. Winds
will shift to the east or southeast by late week and into the
weekend as a frontal boundary approaches the region by late
weekend, which will bring the next chance of precipitation.
