Synopsis for Jupiter Inlet to Ocean Reef FL out to 60 nm and for East
Cape Sable to Bonita Beach FL out to 60 nm-
1001 AM EDT Thu Apr 25 2024
.Synopsis...
A gentle to moderate easterly wind flow will remain in place today
across the local waters. Easterly flow will gradually increase
Friday and into the upcoming weekend as strong high pressure builds
south towards the area. This will likely result in hazardous marine
conditions returning to all local waters during this time frame.
Gulf Stream Hazards: No Hazards
The approximate location of the west wall of the Gulf Stream as of
Apr 25, 2024 at 12 UTC...
33 nautical miles northeast of Port Everglades.
15 nautical miles southeast of Lake Worth.
6 nautical miles east southeast of Jupiter Inlet.
