Miami Florida for 08-24-2024

Alright, folks, let's dive into the aquatic world of Florida with your Coastal Waters Forecast. I'm here to make sure you stay in the know without getting lost in the waves.

For the Atlantic and Gulf coastal waters, expect moderate easterly winds to persist this weekend thanks to high pressure in the area. Brace yourself for scattered showers and thunderstorms due to a tropical wave passing through, which could make the waters rough and choppy. Keep an eye on those seas ranging from 2 to 4 feet in the Atlantic; they might just surprise you with higher swells during storms.

If you're cruising along the Gulf Stream, watch out for those choppy seas and gusty winds near thunderstorms. Know where the Gulf Stream's west wall stands, approximately a few nautical miles away from key points along the coast.

Moving on to specific areas, for today along the Coastal waters from Jupiter Inlet to Deerfield Beach, East winds at about 5 to 10 knots and seas around 2 to 3 feet. Showers and thunderstorms are on the horizon, so don't forget your rain gear!

Tonight, those easterly winds persist, the seas stay steady, and showers are likely to make a comeback. Expect more showers on Sunday morning with a chance of thunderstorms. As we approach next week, the trend looks pretty consistent with easterly winds, around 10 knots, and seas around 2 feet.
