Miami Florida for 09-22-2024

Hey there! Let’s dive into the watery world of Florida's coastal waters forecast. Get your sea legs ready!

For the Atlantic coastal waters from Jupiter Inlet to Ocean Reef stretching out to 60 nautical miles, it looks like we're in for some generally light winds, with some northerly swell cruising in from a low-pressure system off the Mid-Atlantic Coast. Expect those seas to pick up from around 2 feet today to a possible 3 to 5 feet by midweek. Meanwhile, the Gulf seas will be as calm as a Sunday morning.

In the Gulf Stream, no hazards are on the horizon, but keep an eye on the approximate location markers provided by the Naval Oceanographic Office.

Heading towards Jupiter Inlet to Deerfield Beach, plan for light north winds today with a gentle breeze of 5 knots. Seas ranging from 2 to 3 feet and a chance of showers and thunderstorms. As we sail into Monday, expect more of the same peaceful weather vibes with a slight increase in wind speeds.

For the Deerfield Beach to Ocean Reef waters, it's smooth sailing with northeast winds around 5 knots today. Seas at around 2 feet with a sprinkle of showers, maybe an occasional thunderstorm later tonight.

Down at Chokoloskee to Bonita Beach waters, light winds today with a hint of northeast moving to the north in the afternoon. Seas keeping it low at less than 2 feet. Stay prepared for a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms.

For Lake Okeechobee, it's all about the calm winds, smooth waters, and a slight chance of showers in the afternoons. Keep an eye out as the wind will slightly pick up towards midweek.

And if you find yourself meandering through Biscayne Bay, expect some light winds and smooth waters today, with a chance of showers and thunderstorms in the mix.
