Alright, folks! Let's dive into our coastal waters forecast for Florida, brought to you by the National Weather Service in Miami. Today's date is Friday, December 6th, 2024.
For the Atlantic coastal waters from Jupiter Inlet to Ocean Reef out to 60 nautical miles, and the Gulf coastal waters from East Cape Sable to Chokoloskee out 20 nautical miles and Chokoloskee to Bonita Beach out 60 nautical miles, here's what we can expect:
A frontal boundary is creeping south, causing light and variable winds that will gradually pick up from the north throughout this Friday afternoon. These cautionary north winds will stick around into the weekend as that front continues its journey southward.
No Gulf Stream hazards to worry about, and here's a heads up on the approximate Gulf Stream location for December 5th from the Naval Oceanographic Office.
Moving on to our detailed coastal forecast:
- For areas near Jupiter Inlet to Deerfield Beach, we've got northwest winds at 5 to 10 knots today. Seas ranging from 2 to 3 feet. Light chop on the Intracoastal waters.
- Tonight, expect some gusty north winds at 10 to 15 knots with occasional gusts up to 20 knots. Seas building up to 6 feet at times.
- Tomorrow, northeast winds at 10 to 15 knots could bring seas up to 8 feet occasionally. A bit choppy out there, so brace yourselves!
- Beyond that, southeast winds will take over, with improving sea conditions into early next week.
