Good morning, all you salty sea dogs and sun-seeking beach bums in Florida! I'm here with your coastal waters forecast in collaboration with the National Weather Service. So, let's dive straight into it.

For our buddies along the Atlantic coastal waters from Jupiter Inlet to Ocean Reef and our pals over on the Gulf side from East Cape Sable to Chokoloskee, strap in for some wild weather ahead. Hazardous winds and seas are on the horizon, sticking around through the weekend as a system dances through the area. Expect showers and thunderstorms ramping up today and into the first half of the weekend.

Gulf Stream Hazards: Marine conditions are on the decline, with seas potentially ranging from 6 to 9 feet and winds nearing Gale force conditions.

And here's a heads up for our maritime adventurers closer to home - we've got a Small Craft Advisory in effect through late tonight, with a Gale Watch looming from late tonight through Saturday evening. SE winds of 20 to 25 knots with gusts up to about 30 knots today. Seas building from 4 to 5 feet in the morning to 5 to 7 feet in the afternoon. Showers likely in the morning, with a chance of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon.
