Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line out to 60 nm 944 AM EST Wed Dec 24 2025

SYNOPSIS

Main maritime concern through this week will be the potential for sea fog, especially across nearshore waters and bays. Fog potential will be greatest in the late evening to morning hours.

Otherwise, favorable marine conditions are expected into the weekend as high pressure will dominate across the northern Gulf with light and variable winds prevailing. The next frontal system doesn't look to arrive until early next week and advisory conditions are likely on Monday following the front.
