Hey there folks, welcome to your coastal waters forecast for Florida. I'm here to give you the lowdown on what's happening out on the water. So, let's dive in!
For all you sailors and boaters out there, be prepared for some moderate to fresh winds out of the east-southeast today, with a chance of isolated showers. The good news is that those hazardous marine conditions will be subsiding tonight into Friday as Hurricane Rafael heads westward into the Gulf of Mexico. So, caution may still be needed, especially over the Atlantic waters into Friday, but things should improve with time.
Now, let's talk specifics:
- East winds of 20 to 25 miles per hour with seas ranging from 6 to 8 feet out in the Gulf Stream today.
- Small craft advisory in effect through late tonight for certain areas, so be mindful if you're heading out.
- The weather looks to settle down with decreasing winds and subsiding seas as we head into the weekend.
Remember, safety first, especially with those changing conditions. Small craft advisory is in effect, so keep an eye out if you're planning any maritime activities.
