Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
125 PM EST Mon Nov 24 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
Winds will remain out of the south and southeast for
Tuesday and Wednesday around 5 to 10 knots. Some slightly lower
dewpoints will result in no sea fog concerns overnight. However,
Tuesday night into Wednesday morning we will see a cold fort
approaching the area. This will result in some fog possible across
our water ways. The cold front will push through Wednesday night and
even though sea fog won`t be much of a concern winds will be. Winds
starting on Wednesday will shift to the north between 15 to 25
knots. These breezy conditions will last through Friday.
