Hey there, folks! Let's dive into the watery world of Florida's Coastal Waters Forecast for today, Sep 16, 2024.
If you're cruising around the Atlantic coastal waters from Jupiter Inlet to Ocean Reef or the Gulf coastal waters from East Cape Sable to Chokoloskee, listen up! We've got a mix of light to gentle southwest to west winds on the horizon. Keep an eye out for Potential Tropical Cyclone 8 causing some extra waves in the Atlantic waters due to approaching northerly swells. Showers and thunderstorms could spice things up with higher winds and waves.
Good news - no hazards in the Gulf Stream currently. So, smooth sailing there!
And for all the nautical nerds out there, the west wall of the Gulf Stream is playing hard to get, located at different distances from various landmarks. Thanks, Naval Oceanographic Office!
For those in the Jupiter Inlet to Deerfield Beach area, expect southwest winds around 5 to 10 knots today. Seas will be around 3 to 5 feet, occasionally hitting 6 feet. Keep an eye out for showers and thunderstorms throughout the day into tonight.
As the week progresses, south winds around 5 knots will be the theme, with seas calming down a bit. So, grab your sunscreen, shades, and maybe a raincoat – just in case it pours!
