Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
318 AM EDT Sat Jul 26 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

A hot and dry weekend is expected with winds less than 15 knots and
seas of 2 feet or less. Rain chances increase Sunday evening and
into early next week as additional moisture makes thunderstorms
along the west coast more likely. These storms will develop over
land, but should be expected to move out over coastal waters,
creating locally hazardous winds and seas as they do so.
