Miami Florida for 07-09-2024

Alright, folks, let's dive into the aquatic realm with a coastal waters forecast for Florida from the National Weather Service in Miami - it's your go-to guide for all things marine-related. So, grab your captain's hat and let's set sail!

For the Atlantic coastal waters from Jupiter Inlet to Ocean Reef and the Gulf coastal waters from East Cape Sable to Bonita Beach, we're looking at a mix of gentle to moderate south to southeasterly winds for most waters this week. Keep an eye on those nearshore Gulf waters as they might get a southwest wind shift in the afternoons. By the end of the week, expect those winds to turn easterly with the chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms each day.

And don't worry about any Gulf Stream hazards - smooth sailing ahead!

If you're around the waters from Jupiter Inlet to Deerfield Beach, get ready for some south winds today, with seas less than 2 feet. A chance of showers and thunderstorms could make a guest appearance, so keep your umbrellas handy.

Tonight, those south winds stick around, continuing into Wednesday with a light chop on the Intracoastal waters. The forecast for the rest of the week? Showers likely with a chance of thunderstorms popping up, so keep your rain boots nearby.

For those in the Deerfield Beach to Ocean Reef areas, expect east to southeast winds around 5 to 10 knots with seas less than 2 feet. Keep an eye out for a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms throughout the week.

Down south from Chokoloskee to Bonita Beach, nearshore areas will have light winds becoming southwest, while offshore areas see some easterly flows. Expect a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoons, so keep a lookout for those dark clouds rolling in.

And for Lake Okeechobee and Biscayne Bay, get ready for smooth sailing with some chances of showers and thunderstorms along the way. Winds and waters will be generally calm, but that doesn't mean you won't get a visit from a passing storm.

So, there you have it, your maritime forecast all wrapped up. Remember, for more detailed information, check out the full report via the link in our show notes.
