Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
257 PM EDT Thu Apr 3 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

Calm conditions are currently present as high pressure dominates.
Over the next few days, winds are forecast between 10-15 knots
with seas 2-4 feet along the west coast of Florida. At times,
wind gusts may exceed this, and seas could be choppier in
response. However, conditions should generally remain below
cautionary levels into next week when the next cold front
arrives and conditions deteriorate once more.
