Coastal Waters Forecast for the Florida Keys...CORRECTED
National Weather Service Key West FL
449 AM EDT Fri Mar 13 2026
Corrected for latest wave detail in the Straits of Florida and SE
Gulf for today, tonight, and Saturday periods.
Florida Bay, Hawk Channel and Straits of Florida from Ocean Reef to
south of Dry Tortugas, and the extreme southeastern Gulf of America,
including The Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary
Seas are given as significant wave height, which is the average
height of the highest 1/3 of the waves. Individual waves may be
more than twice the significant wave height.
Wave Detail will include details about the period and direction
of origin for the highest energy waves. Long-period swells coming
from a different direction than the wind would be included in the
Wave Detail.

Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas
449 AM EDT Fri Mar 13 2026
.SYNOPSIS...Generally weak and nebulous flow will result in
varying breezes today. High pressure will slowly build back into
the region tonight continuing through the weekend. This will lead
to freshening mainly southeast breezes as a result. Another more
significant frontal system will begin to make its way towards the
Keys early next week. This will lead to southeast breezes clocking
around the compass becoming northwest to north early next week
while also freshening.
