Miami Florida for 07-12-2025

Coastal Waters Forecast: Thunderstorms and Shifting Winds Expected

The National Weather Service in Miami has issued a comprehensive coastal waters forecast for Florida, predicting a dynamic weather pattern over the next few days. Weak high pressure currently dominates the region, promising light winds with occasional thunderstorm activity.

The Gulf Stream remains stable, with its western wall positioned strategically offshore. Nautical enthusiasts will find the stream located approximately 9 miles southeast of Fowey Rocks, 7 miles east of Port Everglades, and 11 miles northeast of Jupiter Inlet.

Mariners can expect southeast winds ranging from 5 to 10 knots across most coastal areas. Seas will generally remain calm, with wave heights typically less than 2 feet. However, thunderstorms could create more challenging conditions, potentially bringing gusty winds and rougher waters.

Today and through the weekend, scattered showers are likely, with thunderstorm activity increasing in the afternoon. By Monday, precipitation is forecast to become more widespread across local waters. The weather pattern will shift midweek, with southeast winds increasing to 10 to 15 knots and seas building to around 2 feet.

Lake Okeechobee and Biscayne Bay will experience similar conditions, with light winds and occasional thunderstorms. Boaters and coastal residents should remain weather-aware and prepared for rapidly changing conditions.

The forecast suggests a typical summer marine pattern for South Florida: warm temperatures, intermittent thunderstorms, and variable wind directions. Recreational and commercial mariners are advised to monitor updated forecasts and exercise caution, particularly during thunderstorm activity.
