Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas

extended period of generally moderate easterly breezes for late in
the week and into the weekend. Breezes for this period will tend
to peak in the evening and overnight hours, then lull during the
daytime.
The Approximate Shoreward Edge of the Gulf Stream is currently
unavailable.
