A comprehensive maritime weather forecast for the coastal waters from Flagler Beach to Jupiter Inlet promises an active weekend with shifting atmospheric patterns. A weak stationary front will linger north of central Florida, setting the stage for dynamic marine conditions.
Boaters should anticipate generally favorable conditions through Sunday, though caution is advised due to potential offshore-moving lightning storms, particularly in the afternoon and evening. Some storms may become strong or severe, accompanied by gusty winds generated by sea breeze activity.
Wind patterns will predominantly feature southeast winds ranging from 10 to 15 knots, occasionally intensifying to 15-20 knots in the afternoon. Seas are expected to range between 3-4 feet, with wave periods varying from 4 to 9 seconds. Offshore areas may experience slightly more turbulent conditions.
A developing low pressure system will drag a cold front through the region early next week, bringing increased shower and thunderstorm activity. Monday and Tuesday are forecasted to have high precipitation coverage, with thunderstorms likely in the evening hours.
The Gulf Stream's western wall will be positioned relatively close to shore, ranging from 8 to 40 nautical miles east of various coastal inlets. Mariners should monitor these positions for navigation planning.
As the week progresses, conditions are expected to become drier by mid to late week, with winds gradually shifting and diminishing in intensity. West and northwest winds will briefly emerge before transitioning back to southeast patterns.
Small craft operators are strongly advised to stay informed about rapidly changing marine conditions and potential thunderstorm development throughout the forecast period.
