Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
135 PM EST Tue Nov 12 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
Our northeast to easterly winds will continue through the
period with no rain showers expected. The big change we will see
will be an increase of winds starting late on Tuesday. This is due
to the pressure gradient tightening across the area. This will bring
winds up to around 20 knots by Tuesday night bringing small craft
advisory conditions possible through mid week.
