Miami Florida for 10-29-2024

Alright folks, grab your raincoats and hold on to your hats because we've got a wild ride ahead out on the waters of Florida!

For all you sailors and sea lovers, here's the scoop on what's happening out there. A fresh to strong east-northeast breeze is sticking around until midweek, thanks to high pressure dominating the region. This means hold onto your hats - we're talking gusty winds and elevated seas on Tuesday and Wednesday.

For our friends along the Gulf Stream, watch out for sustained winds of 20-30 knots and seas reaching up to a mighty 6-9 feet. That's no joke! And hey, if you're curious about the Gulf Stream's whereabouts, it's currently hanging out about 1 to 10 nautical miles away from various landmarks.

Now, let's dive into the specifics. If you're cruising along the coast from Jupiter Inlet to Deerfield Beach or beyond, you're under a Small Craft Advisory until Thursday evening. Today, expect those east winds to kick up to 15 to 25 knots, with seas reaching 5 to 7 feet and occasional showers sneaking in.

As we roll into Wednesday, the winds will keep howling at 20 to 30 knots, with seas climbing to 6 to 11 feet. Hold on tight! Things should calm down by Friday through Saturday, with winds easing to 15 to 20 knots and seas around 4 to 8 feet.

For Lake Okeechobee and Biscayne Bay fans, it's a similar story with Small Craft Advisories in place until Thursday evening. Expect choppy waters, gusty winds, and a chance of showers throughout the week.
