Florida Bay, Hawk Channel and Straits of Florida from Ocean Reef
to south of Dry Tortugas, and the extreme southeastern Gulf of
Mexico, including The Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary

Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas
425 AM EDT Mon Apr 29 2024
.SYNOPSIS...A sprawling high pressure system centered southeast
of New England will maintain fresh to occasionally strong
easterly breezes early this morning. As the high presses south
into the western North Atlantic, breezes will slacken, although
occasionally fresh breezes will continue through the first half of
the week. The aforementioned high moves east further into the mid
to late week resulting in peaking and lulling easterly breezes.
The Approximate Shoreward Edge of the Gulf Stream is currently
unavailable.
