Miami Florida for 10-20-2024

Alright, folks, let's dive into your maritime forecast for the beautiful state of Florida! Today we are looking at the coastal waters from Jupiter Inlet to Ocean Reef and from East Cape Sable to Bonita Beach.

Hold on to your hats because a fresh to strong northeasterly breeze will be blowing through until early this upcoming week due to robust high pressure over the Southeast US. So, expect some serious marine conditions at least until Monday.

For those hitting the Gulf Stream, be cautious as you'll encounter pesky NE winds blowing at 20-25 knots with seas ranging from 6-8 feet until Monday.

If you're sailing from Jupiter Inlet to Deerfield Beach or from Deerfield Beach to Ocean Reef, listen up! A Small Craft Advisory is in effect until Tuesday morning. Today, expect those breezy NE winds at 15 to 20 knots with occasional gusts up to 25 knots. Seas will be riding high at 5 to 7 feet, occasionally reaching 9 feet. So, hunker down and hold on tight!

And if you're cruising from Chokoloskee to Bonita Beach or East Cape Sable to Chokoloskee, you've got a Small Craft Advisory until Monday morning. Winds will be blowing at 15 to 20 knots with occasional gusts up to 25 knots. Seas will be running from 2 to 5 feet. Keep that boat steady!
