Coastal Waters Forecast for Florida

Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
815 PM EDT Fri Jul 24 2026

.SYNOPSIS...
Winds will remain around 5 to 10 knots for both today and
Saturday with some isolated storms pushing off the west coast during
the evening hours. A boundary will push into Florida and stall in
the state for Sunday and into early next week. This will keep winds
out of the west around 10 to 15 knots each day. Due to the west flow
and extra moisture from the boundary we will see overnight and
morning showers and storms develop each day during this period.
These storms will push onto the coast and inland during the late
afternoon and evening hours.
