Miami Florida for 06-22-2024

Alright, folks, let's dive into the watery world of Florida's coastal waters! Here's your water-inspired forecast brought to you by the National Weather Service in Miami.

If you're planning to sail from Jupiter Inlet to Ocean Reef or from East Cape Sable to Bonita Beach, expect a gentle to moderate southeasterly breeze cruising through the weekend thanks to high pressure chilling over the western Atlantic. Keep an eye out for scattered showers and thunderstorms that might crank up the wind and waves locally.

You're in luck as there are no Gulf Stream hazards to worry about. And in case you're wondering where the Gulf Stream's west wall is, just check out Fowey Rocks, Port Everglades, Lake Worth, and Jupiter Inlet.

Now, let's talk specifics for today:

Along the coast from Jupiter Inlet to Deerfield Beach, you can anticipate east-southeast winds around 10 knots with seas ranging from 2 to 3 feet. There's a chance of showers and thunderstorms, so keep an umbrella handy. Tonight, the winds will calm down, but showers are likely after midnight.

Moving to the waters from Deerfield Beach to Ocean Reef, similar conditions prevail, with east-southeast winds around 10 knots and seas around 2 to 3 feet. Showers are also likely, so maybe a raincoat would be a good idea.

For those heading out from Chokoloskee to Bonita Beach, expect east-southeast winds ranging from 5 to 10 knots. Seas will be calm near the shore but might pick up a bit offshore. Keep an eye out for showers and thunderstorms throughout the day.

If you're planning a trip to Lake Okeechobee, you can look forward to east-southeast winds around 5 knots with a chance of showers in the morning and likely in the afternoon.

And last but not least, for our Biscayne Bay enthusiasts, expect east winds at 5 to 10 knots, creating a light chop on the waters. Showers and thunderstorms are likely, especially as the day progresses.
