Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
113 PM EST Thu Jan 29 2026
.SYNOPSIS...
Winds and seas remain benign with no headlines expected through
Friday. A cold front will then move across the waters Friday night
into Saturday, with Gale conditions expected Saturday and Saturday
night, and we could even see a few gusts to Storm Force (48 kts or
greater). Winds will subside starting Sunday night, but seas will
likely remain elevated for a longer period of time before they
subside and so advisories may still be necessary into early next
week.
