Coastal Waters Forecasts...

Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A subtropical ridge over the western Atlantic will
continue to exert its influence across the Gulf waters over the
next few days. Moderate to occasionally fresh SE winds are
forecast over the majority of the basin through today. Fresh to
locally strong winds will pulse near and to the NW of the
Yucatan Peninsula each night and early morning hours due to
local effects. A weak cold front will enter the NW Gulf waters
today and slide eastward. A stronger cold front will move across
the area late this weekend into early next week, resulting in an
increase in winds and seas behind the boundary.  

.TODAY...SE winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft. 
.TONIGHT...E to SE winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...Broad high pressure and associated ridge will
persist across the area through most of the forecast period.
Rough seas E of 57W will gradually subside from W to E today.
The center of high pressure will shift eastward to the central 
subtropical waters on Sat, thus enabling the tail of a cold front 
to move into the NW waters. A stronger cold front will enter the 
offshore waters of NE Florida on Mon morning. Tightening pressure 
gradient behind the front will support fresh to strong winds late 
Mon into Tue off NE Florida and over the western Atlantic, north 
of 28N. Conditions will improve by midweek. 

.TODAY...SE winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 ft. 
.TONIGHT...SE winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 2 ft or less.
