Gulf coastal waters from Bonita Beach to the mouth of the

Important notice to mariners...marine forecasts are issued at
least four times a day. Boaters on extended trips should
routinely monitor subsequent forecast issuances and updates for
the latest marine weather information.

Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
242 AM EST Fri Feb 13 2026

.SYNOPSIS...

Dense marine fog is over the waters from around Sarasota and
northward including Tampa Bay and extends out beyond 60NM in some
areas. The fog will remain dense through much of the morning
hours, and should lift during the afternoon. However, warm and 
humid air over the cool shelf waters favors lingering sea fog for
the next few days until the next front arrives late Sunday and 
into Monday, finally clearing conditions out. As the front 
approaches, winds and seas will build, with a period of hazardous 
marine conditions extending into next week.
