Miami Florida for 05-31-2024

Alright, folks, let's dive into your coastal waters forecast for sunny Florida, brought to you by the National Weather Service in Miami.

Today, we're looking at building high pressure causing those winds to pick up speed from the east, and that means increasing easterly breezes and higher seas not just today but cruising right into the weekend. Keep an eye out for possible hazardous conditions on the Atlantic waters due to a passing front. Quick showers and isolated thunderstorms are also on the menu, potentially stirring up the waters.

Heads up for the weekend, as the Gulf Stream may push those seas up to 4-7 feet, making for some rollercoaster waves out there. Stay safe if you're venturing out.

For you small craft enthusiasts, a heads up, a Small Craft Advisory is in effect from this evening through Sunday morning. So, if you're planning any boating escapades, plan accordingly.

Now, let's break it down for specific areas:

For the coastal waters from Jupiter Inlet to Deerfield Beach, get ready for some breezy NE winds at 15 to 20 knots. Seas ranging from 2 to 4 feet, possibly hitting 5 feet at times. Keep an eye out for some quick-moving showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms into the night.

As we move further down to Chokoloskee to Bonita Beach, expect gentle easterly winds at 10 to 15 knots, creating seas less than 2 feet. There's a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms in the morning, which might intensify in the afternoon.

And for all you Lake Okeechobee enthusiasts, expect those breezes from the northeast at 10 to 15 knots creating a moderate chop on the waters. Keep an eye out for showers and thunderstorm possibilities in the afternoon.

Remember, safety first out there on the water, especially with those changing conditions.
