Miami Florida for 07-07-2024

Alright folks, let's dive into the watery world with a peek at the Coastal Waters Forecast for the sunny state of Florida.

Imagine yourself cruising from the Jupiter Inlet to Ocean Reef on the Atlantic side or perhaps heading from East Cape Sable to Chokoloskee on the Gulf Coast - either way, the weather's looking quite pleasant.

For today, you can expect some southerly winds clocking in at 5 to 10 knots, with seas hanging around the 1-3 feet range. Keep an eye out for those scattered showers and thunderstorms popping up over the local waters in the afternoons; they might stir up some higher winds and waves in their midst.

Now, there are no Gulf Stream hazards to worry about, but do note the Gulf Stream's current position for your nautical adventures.

Heading towards Deerfield Beach or Ocean Reef area? Well, the southerly winds seem to be your trusty companion, with seas remaining calm at 2 feet or less. There's a chance of showers and thunderstorms, so pack an umbrella just in case.

And for our friends from Chokoloskee to Bonita Beach region, expect those winds to be in your favor with a light chop in the bay and inland waters. Seas are pretty mellow near shore, offering a smooth sailing experience.

Now, if you're planning a day out at Lake Okeechobee, it looks like the winds will be gentle at 5 knots, making the waters quite smooth. Keep an eye out for some afternoon showers and thunderstorms.

And let's not forget about beautiful Biscayne Bay - with some light chop expected due to those southern winds and a chance of showers and thunderstorms drifting through.
