Hey there, Florida water lovers! Ready to dip your toes in and catch some waves? 🌊 Let's dive into the coastal waters forecast for Florida, brought to you by the National Weather Service in Miami.
For all you sailors and boaters out there, we've got a gentle easterly breeze coming your way through Thursday, thanks to high pressure chilling in the western Atlantic. But hold onto your hats because those winds are going to switch it up to west-southwesterly as a fading cold front strolls in later this week.
Fear not, Gulf Stream enthusiasts, there are no hazards on the horizon currently. And just in case you were wondering, the Gulf Stream is hanging out at different distances from various points along the coast. Thanks, Naval Oceanographic Office for that tidbit!
Now, onto the juicy details for your specific zones:
For the coastal waters from Jupiter Inlet to Deerfield Beach, expect near perfect conditions today with light winds, calm seas, and minimal waves. Intracoastal waters? Just a light chop.
As we sail into tomorrow, the seas might pick up slightly in the morning but will settle down as the day goes on. And Thursday night brings some smooth sailing with the winds giving way to a westerly direction.
Come Friday, we'll have a sweet mix of winds, keeping the seas at a manageable 2 to 4 feet through the night. And ahoy, weekend warriors! Saturday and Sunday, get ready for some gusty north winds and slightly choppier seas.
Over in Lake Okeechobee, the waters are looking mighty fine with gentle breezes today through Thursday night. Friday till Sunday, however, brace yourselves for some north winds making waves and providing a moderate chop.
Biscayne Bay-goers, you're in for some easy sailing with light winds and smooth waters ahead. Things might get a bit choppy from Friday night onwards, but nothing too wild to handle.
