Miami Florida for 06-17-2024

Hey there, Florida water lovers! It's time to dive into your coastal waters forecast, so grab your favorite salty snack and let's see what's brewing out there.

For our friends cruising along the Atlantic coastal waters from Jupiter Inlet to Ocean Reef, and the Gulf coastal waters from East Cape Sable to Bonita Beach, we've got a mix of moderate easterly winds picking up to fresh as the week starts. Keep an eye out for scattered showers and thunderstorms dancing around, as those winds could get a bit feisty in those stormy moments.

Now, if you're setting sail from Jupiter Inlet to Deerfield Beach or Deerfield Beach to Ocean Reef, hold on tight as a Small Craft Advisory is in effect starting from this morning through Wednesday morning. You're looking at some easterly winds at 15 to 20 miles per hour with gusts reaching up to 25 miles per hour. Seas will be riding around 3 to 5 feet, occasionally tapping 6 feet.

And for those journeying from Chokoloskee to Bonita Beach or East Cape Sable to Chokoloskee, the Small Craft Advisory will give you a heads-up, starting this evening till Tuesday afternoon. Watch out for those easterly winds at 10 to 15 miles per hour near shore, with gusts reaching 25 miles per hour, and around 3 feet high offshore.

For Lake Okeechobee fans, a caution for small crafts is advised. Winds at 10 to 15 miles per hour, making those waters a moderate chop. Keep an eye out for showers and thunderstorms in the mix.

And last but not least, if you're battling the waves in Biscayne Bay, a Small Craft Advisory kicks in this afternoon till Wednesday morning. Expect those easterly winds at 15 to 20 miles per hour with gusts of up to 25 miles per hour. Choppy bay waters await with a chance of showers and t-storms to keep you on your toes.
