Miami Florida for 09-17-2024

Hey there Florida folks, it's time to dive into your coastal waters forecast brought to you by the National Weather Service in Miami. Ready to sail through the week ahead? Let's chart our course.

For the Atlantic and Gulf coastal waters, we're looking at some manageable conditions with light surface winds sticking around. Let's say goodbye to the northerly swell from Potential Tropical Cyclone 8, which is gradually fading away. Expect those daily scattered showers and thunderstorms bringing some locally higher winds and waves.

No hazards to worry about along the Gulf Stream, and for your approximate Gulf Stream location as of today, check out the show notes for more details.

Now, let's break it down for specific areas:

For the waters from Jupiter Inlet to Deerfield Beach and beyond, we're talking about some southerly winds around 5 knots today. Seas ranging from 2 to 4 feet with some occasional 5-footers. Keep an eye out for a chance of showers and thunderstorms.

Moving towards Deerfield Beach to Ocean Reef area, similar conditions persist with gentle breezes and seas around 2 to 3 feet, plus those showers heading your way.

Down by Chokoloskee to Bonita Beach, it's all about smooth sailing with seas less than 2 feet, with a chance of those refreshing showers and thunderstorms popping in.

Inland at Lake Okeechobee, expect some southwest winds around 5 knots, keeping the lake waters smooth. Showers and thunderstorms are likely in the mix, especially in the afternoons.

And for Biscayne Bay, it's pretty much a mirror of tranquility with light winds, smooth conditions, and a sprinkle of showers and thunderstorms to keep things interesting.

Remember, always stay weather-aware and check out the detailed forecasts in our show notes for more information.
