Hey there, coastal creatures and water enthusiasts! This is your go-to gal/guy for the latest on your aquatic adventures. Today, we're diving headfirst into the Coastal Waters Forecast for Florida, courtesy of the National Weather Service in Miami. Let's make some waves!

For those cruising from Jupiter Inlet to Ocean Reef and beyond 60 miles out, and from East Cape Sable to Chokoloskee within 20 miles off the Gulf shore, here's the scoop: Expect gentle to moderate southeasterly winds ruling the waters early this week. A little twist in the tale for the Gulf breeze fans as winds might shift to the south-southwest in the afternoons. Keep an eye out for daily scattered showers and thunderstorms that could amp up wind speeds and waves. Oh, and heads up for a possible tropical trouble brewing in the western Gulf that might stir up the seas off Southwest Florida mid to late week. Stay sharp out there!

No hazards near the Gulf Stream currently, but do note its approximate location as of the 7th of September. Shoutout to the Naval Oceanographic Office for the deets.

Now, for the specifics. From Jupiter Inlet to Deerfield Beach, temperatures are set to be comfy with a mix of sun and clouds. Seas at 2 to 3 feet, coupled with light choppy intracoastal waters. Don't forget your sunscreen and maybe a brolly for those sneaky showers and thunderstorms.

Heading further down the coast, from Deerfield Beach to Ocean Reef and beyond to 60 miles out excluding the Bahamas waters, it's a similar story. Set sail with southeast winds at 5 to 10 knots and seas around 2 feet. Perfect conditions for a picturesque day on the water!

And last but not least, for the Lake Okeechobee fans and Biscayne Bay buddies, smooth sailing with a chance of showers and storms in the evening. Keep an eye on the changing winds, folks.
