Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
1000 AM EDT Tue Apr 22 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

An ESE flow persists through the week, but turns onshore during
the afternoon hours as the sea breeze develops. This will shift
back to the east as the sun sets, with a couple hour window each
evening where the winds will increase and become gusty as this
transition takes place. There won`t be much change to this pattern
through the remainder of the week.
