Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
237 AM EDT Sat Aug 2 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

A very light WSW flow sticks around through the weekend and into
early next week, keeping seas around 1 foot or less outside of
thunderstorms. However, showers and thunderstorms should be expected
across coastal waters, with the most likely timing for impacts
overnight and early in the day before transitioning inland by the
afternoon. This will continue into early next week, before the winds
become more ESE once again.
